Mshengu visited Dassenhoek high school after the incident in which armed robbers attacked pupils on the premises and made off with cellphones, money and other valuables.

The perpetrators allegedly broke the fence to gain access to the premises and demanded valuables from teachers and pupils.At least two suspects have been apprehended.“Imagine if there was a guard with a gun and a shooting spree ensued. We could've lost lives. Teachers and pupils could've been caught in crossfire. So we won't provide armed security guards, because the safety of schools is the responsibility of the community.

“Why do you blame the department while the community steals and their neighbours don't reprimand them? This school is fenced. People who break these things is the community, not teachers. I'm sure if you were to look around you'd find a fence from this school at someone's house.Local councillor Mthokozisi Gasa

“How did you sleep knowing criminals who stabbed four children and caused trauma at the school are still at large?”“This incident happened because we were disorganised somehow, but it tells us that we need to zoom in on the schools.
