The family of a 16-year-old boy who was assaulted in full view of other pupils at Monument High School in Krugersdorp, west of Johannesburg, have slammed the school for conducting a drug test on him because 'his eyes looked suspicious'.

Maduo said the boy had been terrified and it was justified for him to react in an abnormal way.

"Indeed, we are aware that a learner was subjected to a drug test, and this will form part of the internal probe," said spokesperson Steve Mabona."We advocate for a fair process and no unfair treatment will be tolerated." "It’s been almost two weeks now and nothing has happened. This is not just about our boy, but several other learners who get bullied or who will be bullied in future … We will not keep quiet; a precedent needs to be set,” he said.
