Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A Grade 10 pupil, who was allegedly stabbed multiple times by another pupil, has died in hospital.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the teenager was allegedly stabbed by a Grade 9 pupil during break time at Thaba-Jabula Secondary School in Pimville, Soweto.<\/p>\n

Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said he was disheartened by the incident.<\/p>\n

“According to the information at our disposal, the incident took place on school premises during break time.<\/p>\n

“It is alleged that the Grade 9 learner was defending his younger brother from being bullied by the deceased Grade 10 learner.”<\/p>\n

Lesufi added the Grade 9 pupil reportedly stabbed the victim four times during the fight and fled the scene.<\/p>\n

“The injured learner was rushed to a nearby medical facility by an educator and unfortunately succumbed to his injuries at around 17:00 while receiving medical attention,” he said.<\/p>\n

The police were called and the pupil was arrested, Lesufi added.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Gauteng Department of Education, according to Lesufi, dispatched psycho-social officials to provide counselling and support to pupils and teachers at the school.<\/p>\n

Lesufi has since condemned the “violent behavior” that took place at the school.<\/p>\n

“We always encourage learners to report incidents of bullying so that disciplinary action is taken against perpetrators, revenge cannot be a solution,” he said.<\/p>\n

Lesufi has appealed to parents to allow schooling to resume on Monday so that the necessary support is provided to the school community.<\/p>\n

“We wish to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased learner,” he said.<\/p>\n
