Neighbourhood watches and the CPF are also monitoring the affected schools when trouble is suspected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe problem is exasperated due to the age of some of the offenders. It is a complex issue, officers have also been assaulted,\u201d says Ross. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ross stated that neighbourhood watch patrollers are there for visibility only, and are not encouraged to physically&nbsp;intervene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The provincial department of education spokesperson Unathi Booi states that the school handles all fighting incidents with urgency and follows the necessary steps, depending on the nature of the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ |&nbsp;<a

until the learners appeared in a disciplinary meeting\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe school also contacted the WCED Safe Schools, the police and emergency personnel and our Armed Patrol services for
