BREAKING NEWS: Video of violence at a primary school in R’fontein

Yet another school has been plagued by violence but this time the attack was pupil-on-pupil.

The incident occurred at Laerskool Randfontein (Ram), an Afrikaans primary school in Randfontein.

Video footage of a fight between two grade 7 learners riddled with swearing was leaked onto YouTube. In the video, the pupil is being targeted by a group of learners both physically and verbally.

The pupil who recorded the video repeatedly told the rest of the learners not to assist him in the fight.

Once the victim was on the floor, the pupils around him began to laugh mockingly.

The principal of the school, Leon Haupt has since issued a statement on the school’s Facebook confirming the incident. He said all the pupils involved in the fight have been identified and disciplinary action will be taken against them.

He assured parents that the school makes their children’s safety their first priority and that steps will be taken against those who violate that mandate.

Warning: this video has explicit language and is not for sensitive viewers.
