Grade eight learner killed by fellow learner - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The incident took place on Friday while exams were in progress. The learner died on the school premises. This is the second incident to occur in a space of three weeks.

Last month another pupil at a Pietermaritzburg high school died after being stabbed, while five others were hospitalised. Provincial Education MEC Kwazi Mshengu says parents should take full responsibility for their children’s actions. “The victim unfortunately succumbed to the stabbing and the perpetrators had been taken by the police. Unfortunately we cannot reveal the names for now because they are minors. We are quite saddened as the department as we continue to lose young lives in this manner. As you know that it’s not the first incident in the province to happen in such a way. We continue to request the parents and communities to partner with us so that we remove all these things from the community where they originate.

This is sad kanti what is security for at schools if this till continues my deepest condolences to the family of the deceased.

How many more Learners and Educators should we bury before 2 or 3 Police Officers are deployed in every school with a two-way radio connected to the nearest Police Station?

This is so sad, unfortunately it's not going to stop now instead it's going to get worse. M.H.S.R.I.P Govt it's easy to bring new laws for alcohol and teach minors sex. But difficult to change justice system for criminals. Spare the rod.
