Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A Grade 11 pupil from Qalabotjha Secondary School in Vlakfontein was stabbed to death on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The pupil was involved in a suspected gang-related fight, which occurred after school, according to the Gauteng education department’s spokesperson, Steve Mabona.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old was stabbed in the chest. He was taken to a local clinic for medical treatment, which was where he died.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Colonel Mavela Masondo said a 21-year-old pupil was arrested and is facing a murder charge.<\/p>\n

“Police searched for the suspects and arrested a fellow learner who has since been charged with murder. The motive for the fighting cannot be confirmed at this stage. The investigation is underway. The arrested learner is expected to appear in the Lenasia Magistrate’s Court in due course,” Masondo said.<\/p>\n
