The Johannesburg police are investigating a case of public violence after one police officer was slightly injured this morning when police were attacked by pupils at Freedom Park Secondary School YoliswaSobuwa

Police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo said this morning police went to search the school as part of their school safety programme.

“As the police were busy searching in the classrooms they heard the sounds of gun shots. This is when the pupils rushed outside their classrooms and started throwing stones at the police and community patrollers. In the process they damaged one of the police cars," Masondo said. He said police were still investigating the source of the gun shots which sparked the chaos at the school.

This incident happened as police minister Bheki Cele and Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi are out today visiting Kutumela Molefi Primary School in Mamelodi as part of the Gauteng province's school safety programme.

YoliswaSobuwa Yep. Sa is astonishingly internally focused, myopic, fearful and distracted by political agendas that have failed everywhere that they have been tried. Rest of africa is now growing 5 times faster than SA. I’m very proud of my African Brothers and Sister’s

YoliswaSobuwa You can’t call that place a school, the district knows what’s happening they choose to ignore, the MEC also knows but they ignore every call from the teachers. All they want is to act when a person dies.
