Abusive treatment from Traffic Official

The attitude received from Mr Madlala at Mooi River Testing grounds is absolutely atrocious. He leaves the female learner drivers in tears with his abusive attitude towards them. I have spoken to numerous people that have been there and had him as their instructor, some complained of how he calls them stupid and tells them to wash their ears and to listen the 1st time. This seems to be the way he treats all the lady learners drivers. If u don't hear him & ask him to please repeat he tells you he does not repeat and you must listen the 1st time. What he needs to realize is that the learner drivers come to the testing ground for assistance and are extremely nervous already and then to be verbally abused, shouted at and be told that you are stupid is way out of line. I went and did my test and asked him to please repeat something and he told me to keep quiet as only he is allowed to talk, he said he talks once and doesn't repeat, so basically if you don't understand something it's your own problem. I had done all my maneuvers on the in yard test perfectly and I had just finished doing my parallel parking and he approached the window of my vehicle saying "good, now I need you to proceed to the incline stop, he explained while pointing in the direction of the incline stop that I need to drive to the incline stop, stop before the line, put my handbrake up and put my vehicle into neutral and then he would tell me what to do next at the incline stop, I said ok that's perfect thank you and at this point he stood right up against my vehicle against the window and in my personal breathing space, I felt extremely uncomfortable, he then did something on his hand held device and then took a step back and said "as a matter of fact turn your vehicle off and go back to the office as you have failed". My question is why does he tell me where to go next and what to do and then stand up against my vehicle as if he was waiting for something and when he realized he wasn't getting anything he then did something on the handheld device and said "as a matter of fact, turn off your vehicle and get out of the vehicle and go to the office as you have failed" I was so shocked as he had just explained that I need to move off to the incline stop. My question is, what did I fail??? Did I fail at not giving him a bribe when he stood right up against my window in my personal space after saying "good" and telling me what to do next. 😠 I will be taking this further. Us woman are sick and tired of being verbally abused and made to feel like we are stupid.
