UPDATE: Crystal Park High assault co-accused to reappear in court

This came after a video went viral on social media last month. It showed the accused, Grade Eight and Nine learners, assaulting a fellow learner.

Five Crystal Park High School learners, accused of assaulting a fellow learner in March, are due to make their next court appearance on June 18, spokesperson for the Crystal Park SAPS, Const Alex Mokete, said.

Three of the accused appeared in the Benoni Magistrate’s Court on March 8 with other co-accused appearing on March 11.

“The accused were all enrolled in a three-month National Institute for Crime Prevention and the Reintegration of Offenders (Nicro) programme,” said Mokete. He said the programme aims to steer individuals away from crime.

“If the NICRO programme is completed successfully by the offenders, the case will be withdrawn. However, if it is not, then the court proceedings will continue.”
