The boy was allegedly identified via video footage that was provided to police during the investigation into the stabbing death of Kulani Mathebula.

The 13-year-old boy who was arrested in connection with the murder of a Mondeor High School pupil will be assessed by a probation officer who will compile a report that will be part of a preliminary inquiry, the National Prosecuting Authority said today.

“A 13-year-old boy appeared in the Juvenile Court at the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Thursday and the matter was rolled over to Friday for the boy to be assessed by a probation officer who will compile a report that will be presented to the court so that the process of conducting a preliminary inquiry can be kick-started,” NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said.

Mathebula was fatally stabbed on his way to school on Wednesday morning. The boy was arrested on the same day. Mjonondwane said the inquiry was part of the child justice act, and needed to be conducted within 48 hours of the child’s arrest.A memorial service will be held for Mathebula on Friday at Mondeor High School.

Pupil, 13, arrested in connection with #MondeorHigh stabbing | IOL NewsA 13-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a Mondeor High School pupil, police confirmed on Wednesday. Dear Lord, at 13 I didn’t even know, a knife could be used as a weapon, let alone take somebody’s life, are we failing are we kids, have we failed as a society? Too sad, heartbroken 💔my heart is weeping..... This is exactly why we need the Death penalty to be re- instated. Rubbish killing schoolchildren should be permanently removed from society. Jail is just not a sufficient penalty and they even cost us money. Hang the bastards!
