“We are really struggling and some days he would go to school on an empty stomach.”Earlier this week, a 14-year-old grade five pupil was stabbed to death by a 13-year-old classmate with a pair of scissors.
The SA Democratic Teachers Union said the child was certified dead on arrival at the Atamelang Clinic. “As Sadtu we view this in an extremely serious light ... We have had numerous cases of violence reported in the recent past and just after the latest national safety summit,” provincial secretary George Themba said.
Provincial education MEC Sello Lehari said: “On behalf of the department I would like to convey our sincere condolences to the family ... This has been a very unfortunate incident. We never thought we could lose one of our learners like this. On March 7 and 8, as a department, we are going to hold a provincial safety seminar to deal with all safety issues in our school.”
The scissor stabbing came just days after a teacher was assaulted by a parent at the Leema Primary School at Tlhatlhaganyane, also in the North West.reported that the teacher was left bloodied and bruised after the parent assaulted her with an umbrella.
Only ten years in prison for taking one's life? No!
Only ten years Crime pays in South Africa!
Really now 10 years, what's that ? They got to be joking
This is a joke
Bathong! Iron for premeditated murder. Should have given him 50 years
This Palooka will be out on parole before he turns 25, not a suitable sentence.
Why not 30 years, teachers has been harassed and injured by pupils for long just because if they retaliate it would be cold abuse.
10 years is nothing compared to the life he took plus with good conduct he won't serve the whole 10 years. People r not afraid to kill coz they know they'll be out soon.
SA justice system can really surprise,when Oscar was sentenced to 5 years it was said for murder the sentence starts from 15 years,that's why he it was appealed and sentenced to 15 years,now where does 10 years come from?I'm expecting to appeal that sentence.
1. This is so sad. 2. People who cannot afford to take care of and feed themselves should not have children. You need a credit check for an Edgar’s account, you should have a credit check before getting knocked up and popping out a kid.
10 years!!!!!!!? WTF
The law it's UNFAIR
Ten years it's nothing & he's gonna stay 3 or 2 years to be given bail when someone's life is cut short
Sentences like this is going to scare the criminals......life is far to cheap in RSA.
YOU ARE FAILING THE NATION
Thanks bra Justice...
There’s really no justice here, the family must be feeling betrayed. Probably the assumption is that he is still young and could come out of prison and play a meaningful role in society, but once a pirate always a pirate.🤭🤭🤭
Ten years for a life, fuck, what a cheap society we live in.
What is ten years, do u mean this teacher’s life was so cheap?
That's nothing he should have got 20 plus
Bathong only 10 y not add another zero
