The Gauteng Education Department has confirmed that a school learner has been stabbed to death at the Dinokaneng Secondary School, in Sebokeng.
It’s understood that the grade 10 boy who was stabbed to death on Thursday was attacked by a fellow learner.
This is the second incident of violence at the school this week, after a grade 11 pupil was hospitalised on Wednesday following a fight on school grounds.
All pupils from the school were sent home on Friday after community members started protesting outside the school.
“The community was outraged by the frequent occurrence of these incidents and began stoning buses and blocking off roads and we felt as a department we needed to release all the learners so they could go home,” said the department’s Steve Mabona.
