HUMANSDORP<\/strong> \u2013 Humansdorp police in the Eastern Cape have confirmed that no arrests have been made yet after a Grade 12 learner was fatally stabbed at Humansdorp Senior Secondary School this morning, 23 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported<\/a>, on 23 September at about 08:15, a violent altercation at the school among learners left an 18-year-old learner with stab wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The learner was declared dead at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to some media reports, police spokesperson Warrant Officer Majola Nkohli has confirmed that no arrests have been made, but a few learners have been taken in for questioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horatio Hendricks, Democratic Alliance Eastern Cape Shadow MEC for Education,<\/strong> has extended his deepest condolences to the family and friends of the learner who so tragically passed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further said that the DA is appalled by these acts of violence, which have no place in any society, let alone our schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our schools have become breeding grounds for criminality and havens for gang activity, and this cannot be allowed to continue,” said Hendricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He alleges that Humansdorp Secondary School has been plagued by gangsterism and drug abuse over the past few years and that the situation is no longer tolerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hendricks has urged the SAPS to act urgently to bring those responsible for this tragedy to justice, to apply the full might of the law, and to send a clear message that violence in schools will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
