Learners were sent home on Friday as the community was outraged by the frequent occurrence of these incidents and began stoning buses and blocking off roads.

Mabona furthermore said the Psycho-Social Support team would be deployed to the school on Monday to provide trauma support and counselling.

THE COMMUNITY WAS OUTRAGED BY THE MURDER

These services will also be extended to the family.

“We mourn the untimely death of one of our learners, indeed we are deeply hurt and concerned by the occurrence of gangsterism which shortens the lives of our learners and jeopardises their future. We wish to extend our sincerest condolences to the family and school community at large,”

said Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane.
