Thuto Tiro stabbing: Initiates blamed for school violence | IOL News

The death of a 14-year-old who was stabbed by a fellow pupil on Monday at Thuto Tiro Comprehensive School in Sebokeng has renewed fears that initiation schools in the area may be a breeding ground for school violence. Parents and teachers allege that incidents of bullying and gangsterism in schools here were caused by groups of boys, who recently graduated from various initiation schools.

A teacher at Thuto Tiro Comprehensive School told the Sunday Independent that despite gangsterism being a problem at the school, this week’s incident was purely a tragic accident. The two pupils, who are said to be best friends, were playing with a pair of scissors in the classroom when the incident happened.

“There was another incident two months ago when a group of boys from another school attacked one of our learners at Thuto Tiro.
