Jozini school pupil fatally stabbed

A JOZINI school pupil was stabbed to death on Sunday when violence broke out at a school’s cultural activities event at Mpala Community Hall.

Jozini schools took part in the event in the Emanyiseni Education Ward, Ubombo Circuit, when some pupils allegedly left the community hall and visited a nearby shebeen.

The pupils were reportedly intoxicated and a conflict ensued, during which Lindelani Sibiya was stabbed by a fellow pupil and later died at a clinic.

This was days before a man shot and killed a  Grade 12 pupil before turning the gun on himself at a school in Port Durnford.

According to KZN MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liasion, Willie Mchunu said the department regularly rolled out its school safety programme at schools, which seeks to ensure provincial schools provide a safe, secure learning environment.
