In support of the victims was a group from the ANC Gauteng Women’s League. Spokesperson Nontsha Nciza said, “We are saddened that the case has been postponed to November 30.
“We are hurt as parents that our kids are not taken seriously, now they are afraid of going to school because they fear for their lives,” she said.
