An 18-year-old pupil from Maope High School has d!ed after he was st@bbed in the upper body on Tuesday by two other pupils. According to police, two groups of boys had a heated argument which led to a fight.

The deceased was identified as Photigo Monareng by his family. Three knives, a hammer and an axe were confiscated during the arrests. Two suspects are expected to appear in the Bela Bela magistrate’s court on Thursday on a m-rder charge. Limpopo police commissioner Lt-Gen Thembi Hadebe condemned bullying and v!olence among pupils.
“We have noted a trend of bullying and embedded culture of v!olence in schools recently. Bullying and v!olence should be reported as soon as it occurs to the parents, teachers and police because it is unacceptable and should not be tolerated . It is time to hold those responsible for these acts to account,” said Hadebe.
