Dyson said groups later started stoning buses and smearing vehicles with shoe polish and paint.
Youth in and around Cape Town got up to mischief for Guy Fawkes Day on Tuesday as the SPCA prepared itself for people to discharge fireworks despite no official sites being allocated, effectively banning it.
Western Cape Education MEC Debbie Schäfer said the department received reports every year of pupils behaving irresponsibly on this day. Increased absenteeism at certain schools was noticed during this period because pupils chose to take part in these activities, while others did not attend school because they were scared of being targeted.
Schäfer said parents should ensure they kept an eye on their children and checked their school bags for fireworks or other materials such as paint.Despite this, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA said it was preparing for Guy Fawkes and the aftermath of animals that may need its assistance in the days and weeks to come.
