Mayhem broke out at a Soweto school on Friday after the arrest of a grade 9 pupil for allegedly stabbing to death a grade 10 pupil over an alleged incident of bullying.

Gauteng education department spokesperson Steve Mabona said Thaba-Jabula Secondary School in Pimville had to be closed early after parents arrived demanding the release of the arrested boy and pupils began fighting among themselves.“According to information at our disposal, the incident took place on school premises during break time on Thursday. It is alleged that the grade 9 learner was defending his younger brother from being bullied by the deceased grade 10 learner.

“The wounded learner was rushed to a nearby medical facility by an educator and unfortunately succumbed to his wounds at about 5pm while receiving medical attention.”
