Deputy principal stabbed by learner in Alexandra

The Gauteng Department of Education has confirmed that the deputy principal of Realogile High School in Alexandra, north of Johannesburg, was stabbed by a learner.

According to the department’s spokesperson Steve Mabona, the pupil had been called into the office for misbehaving and at some point, returned with a pair of scissors.

Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza said they were worried about the disruption of schooling in Alexandra. This is in light of the preliminary exams for Grade 12 that were under way.

“As the department, we are working tirelessly to ensure that learners are safe in all our schools. Indeed, it is concerning that some learners were reported to have even brandished firearms during the said unrest.

“We urge all learners to refrain from acts of misconduct at our schools, and use the appropriate channels to raise important matters,” said Lesufi.
