Pupil electrocuted, five years on dodgy wiring unfixed. Now GDE has 15 days

The Gauteng department of education has been ordered by the Joburg high court to urgently to attend to life-threatening infrastructure issues at a school in Brakpan where a pupil was electrocuted in 2017.The Johannesburg high court has given the Gauteng education department 15 days to present a report on how it will fix unsafe infrastructure at Geluksdal Secondary School, in Brakpan, east of Johannesburg, where a pupil died after she was electrocuted in 2017.

The court ordered the department to replace and repair circuit breakers, earth leakage and other electrical equipment at the school. It also ordered the department to reprimand officials within the works inspection department who did not report on the death of the pupil in 2017. The court also said the department must discipline officials who failed to take action after the unsafe infrastructure was reported.

“Throughout the litigation proceedings, government officials have remained silent and have not engaged on this matter. It is disappointing that education officials have remained unreachable about a case surrounding the safety of learners while at school,” Section27 said in a statement. “While this inaction continues, learners remain at risk of injury or death while at school. This relief is important because it forces the GDE to urgently fix the unsafe infrastructure at the school and report on the progress made,” it said.

KES pupil killed outside Sandton nightclubA 17-year-old King Edward VII School pupil was stabbed to death outside Madison Avenue nightclub on Wessel Road in Rivonia, Johannesburg, on Saturday night. Huh 🤨 What a tragedy, May he rest in peace. Madisons has become so dangerous. This isn’t the first horror I’ve heard about. Last time I was there I had to help a girl who was stuck with a needle. I saw old men preying on young girls. It’s not okay. A 17 year old should not be anywhere near a nightclub. Police should have been called after the first altercation.
