Lethal attacks by school pupils are due to a culture of no accountability, an expert says, while others say it's time to stop treating school-going criminals like children.

Neighbours described the incident as a senseless and brutal murder in a “quiet” suburban street. Just 200 metres from a police station, the Grade 11 pupil’s body lay lifeless yesterday morning as his mother, Dumi Chauke, 36, wailed inconsolably, calling her son’s name as his body was loaded into the forensics vehicle.

Reluctant to call it a suspected mugging or the result of a fight among pupils as some reports speculated, Lesufi did reveal that three pupils from other schools were placed on the scene, according to CCTV footage seen by himself and the police. Lesufi added that the provincial department was increasingly under pressure to deal with school-related crimes, which often led to pupils dying.

Prof Corene de Wet from the School of Open Learning at the University of Free State said government was presiding over a society which lacked accountability and consequence management at every level. Acting Gauteng police comissioner Major-General Max Masha said sensitivity was required when policing violence at schools.
