Principal removed from Gauteng school after pupil's brutal killing

Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has also ordered the termination of the scholar transport service provider's contract.

"The new scholar transport service provider has been appointed to transport learners to and from school effectively," said Mabona. “We are informed Laticia and a group of learners from Dukathole in Germiston were on Wednesday January 22 left behind by the departmental scholar transport and unfortunately had to turn back home," the department said on Sunday.

"It seems Laticia was left behind by her peers while walking back home - apparently after complaining about a heavy school bag, which she was trying to fix. That was the last time she was seen by her peers.”“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," he said at the time.
