JOHANNESBURG – Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said he would not tolerate any kind of violent behaviour in the provinces schools.
Lesufi strongly condemned a violent altercation that occurred between a group of matriculants at Parktown Boys High School this week.
In a video that has been widely shared, a grade 12 pupil can be seen attacking another before being stopped by a group of pupils.
We do not tolerate any sort of violent behaviour in our schools. Learners must focus on their studies and if a matter arises which bothers them; they must consult with their educators or principals about it – instead of taking matters into their own hands, said Lesufi.
The matriculants involved in the altercation have since been suspended.
