The murder of a Grade 10 Overberg High School student has raised concerns over safety at schools after her body was discovered in a store room on the school’s premises,
‘A search party was established by SAPS Caledon. The search party later found the body of a girl in a storeroom on the school’s premises. She was declared deceased by medical personnel at the scene,’ said Van Wyk. Le Roux stated that safety at schools was of a ‘great concern’ and called for immediate action to keep pupils safe while attending school, adding that Nel’s death had ‘spread fear among parents’.
Malvern de Bruyn, provincial secretary of the Congress of South African Trade Unions , emphasised that ‘the thousands of workers’ the congress represented, and who were parents of pupils, just wanted to ensure their children’s safety. On Tuesday earlier this week, provincial police commander Colonel Andrè Traut said SAPS was still investigating Nel’s death and that there were ‘no new developments’ that could be shared.
Williams added that the ‘alarmingly high’ occurence of gender-based violence in the country was shocking.
