Gauteng Education Department Spokesperson Steve Mabona says they will ensure that those involved in the killing of a Grade 10 learner at Geluksdal Secondary School in Brakpan are brought to book.

One of the perpetrators was apprehended by the police.

Mabona says one suspect was arrested on Friday. It’s understood that the stabbing happened after a fight which allegedly started during school hours, when three Grade 10 boys pepper-sprayed other learners. The alleged perpetrators then emerged after school in the company of unknown persons and started a fight which claimed the life of the learner.“The fight started in school premises during hours.

The Gauteng Portfolio Committee on Community Safety has expressed concern over violence at schools across the province. Chairperson of the committee Bandile Masuku says, “We are concerned about the spate of violence in a couple of areas and we have undertook to understand what are the trends that were derived by the Department of Education and Community Safety to deal with school safety. But what is of concern is that there is a general increase of lawlessness not only in schools but in society and it is something we are worried and concerned about.
