A 10-year-old boy dies after being stabbed by a 9-year-old in what appears to be a bullying-related altercation in Free State.

At about 4pm on Wednesday, Kamogelo Leepile, a Grade 4 pupil from WSM Malotle Primary School, and the nine-year-old Grade 4 pupil from neighbouring Monamodi Primary School were on their way to their respective homes in Brandfort when a fight broke out between the two boys.“Preliminary investigations reveal that the nine-year-old boy went to get a knife from his home nearby and returned, stabbing the 10-year-old boy,” said Free State police spokesperson Captain Stephen Thakeng.

Mohale expressed shock after the incident and said the incident can only be described as “abhorrent and a travesty”. “We cannot and will not tolerate delinquency and lawlessness in our schools. We all need to ensure that our schools are safe spaces for learning and teaching. Parents, communities, and law enforcement agencies all need to play their role to ensure that together we raise caring and responsible citizens,” Mohale said.
