MEC for education in Gauteng, Panyaza Lesufi, has condemned “senseless acts” after an 18-year-old Grade 10 pupil from Reiger Park Secondary School was fatally stabbed.
“On behalf of the entire education fraternity in Gauteng, we would like to send our heartfelt condolences to the family and the school community. May they find comfort in knowing that we too share their pain. Furthermore, we strongly condemn senseless acts of violence which threaten the safety of our learners in and around our schooling environment, robbing them of their future,” said Lesufi.Lesufi also condemned a “horrendous” video portraying two female pupils fighting.
District officials were expected to visit the school, on the West Rand, on Friday to ensure that necessary disciplinary processes were effected, said spokesperson for the department, Steve Mabona.Meanwhile, 97 pupils from a primary school in Tshwane were rushed to various clinics after experiencing stomach cramps after they ate fatcakes.
“According to the information at our disposal, it is alleged that learners were busy with their practicals when the gas leakage from the stove accidentally occurred. The educator used the fire extinguisher to diffuse the gas fumes and further prevented a possible fire outbreak.

For some reason Enoch reminds me of my 14 year old son. Looks like he was a lovely boy. Sending love and strength to his mother❤ So the lawyer should file a case against the water that drowned the kid.
