JOHANNESBURG - The Gauteng Education Department on Sunday confirmed that a grade 9 pupil was murdered in Germiston, Ekurhuleni.

The body of 15-year-old Laticia Jansen from Graceland Education Center in Elsburg was discovered by community members in a bush on Friday. She had been stabbed and raped before she was burned to death near Elsburg.

It was understood Jansen had gone missing on Wednesday after she failed to return home from school. The GED said she was left behind by her scholar transport and had to walk home. Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi visited the Jansen family earlier on Sunday and conveyed his condolences. He assured the family that if the school was in the wrong, he would act decisively.

“It is alleged that the scholar transport started a tendency of departing earlier than scheduled as a result leaving many learners behind, which is a serious concern for us. We will investigate circumstances surrounding this allegation,” Lesufi said. The GED said its psychosocial team on Monday would visit Graceland Education Center to conduct necessary counselling to the school community and family.

The imbeciles will blame it on foreigners

Man, this SA men are evil 😈 seems something is wrong with them physiologically.. 😡

There is so much evil in S.A....worse than xenophobia!!! Some of the men should watch their lives!!!

Barbaric behaviour. So sad😥😥😥

Yoh mara 💔

Ke masepa a eng a mara ehhh? What really happened to South Africa mara

The transport company should face charges of negligence. Parents pay them money to transport their kids and pass the responsibility to them. If the child is not at the gates, they can't just leave...

Never trust men.

Something is REALLY REALLY wrong with South African men 😫😣😣😣

Yho💔

saki_ngcupe see what I meant when I said no one is safe anywhere? If you have the the opportunity to drive your kids to school then why not do it? People would rather emphasize instilling independence over someone’s safety.

Cant wait to see what the Eff and SAHRC has to say about this

Lesufi questions why ‘death camp’ still used by schoolsFollowing Enock Mpianzi's death, Eyewitness News revealed that at least four other pupils died at the Nyati Bush and River Break Lodge during school camps. Because it's not a death camp you dummy 🤔 'Death Camp' a bit harsh...... 1 child died, yes it was unnecessary, tragic & negligence by school & teachers but 2 compare Nyati 2 Chełmno, Bełżec, Sobibór, Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, Troste etc is abit much. 1 drowning can't b compared 2 the slaughter of millions. Like questioning why so many youths die at Xhosa male initiation rituals that consists of various stages such as pre-initiation preparation, the circumcision operation itself, seclusion in the initiation cultural. Alot more die at these rituals!
