The incident happened on Tuesday at the Hoërskool Jan Viljoen in Randfontein after both pupils had written exams.
In video footage that went viral on social media, the 16-year-old girl is seen assaulting the boy, also 16. “It is unfortunate that the incident happened at the time when learners are busy with their year-end examinations. We strongly condemn any misdemeanour in schools, which could lead to serious action being taken against a learner,” department spokesperson Steve Mabona said.
The department said it had sent its psychosocial team to provide necessary support to all affected by the incident.
