Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has called for swift investigations into an apparent spike in ill-discipline and violence at Gauteng schools.
Lesufi condemned recent acts of ill-discipline, after several reports of violent acts by pupils, some of which were captured on social media.
“First of all, I need to make it abundantly clear that our schools can never be sites of violent conduct, assaults or bullying. Violence has no place at our schools and we call on school management to work with parents and the department to ensure we bring these acts of ill-discipline and misconduct to a swift end,” Lesufi said.
