near Kimberley in the Northern Cape fear for their lives and their children’s lives following the escalation of gang violence at the school.

On Wednesday, a learner was stabbed when gang violence erupted again at the school. The incident led to the school closure. Monyobo adds that, “As the SGB members we going to be here not on a daily basis but I’m always here to look for the safety and so on. But I think the issue is, as we have given them their suspension letters and they will realise that the thing that they have done is wrong. We have suspended them for seven days now and we are going to go to the disciplinary hearing. And when we done with that they will realise that this problem that they cause at the school is its zero tolerance.

Marais says, “We have sent out our education support team to help with the counselling of the learners. The teacher that was held hostage was allowed to go on sick leave and she is receiving counselling. For the learners also we need to have an intervention programme at the school. But on Sunday, there will be a meeting with the community and we roped in the councillor.”
