Eight pupils have been
arrested following violence at the Joe Slovo High School in Khayelitsha on the
Cape Flats.
They allegedly burnt down two
classrooms during protests over alleged ill treatment.
Angry pupils set two
structures alight on Wednesday, leaving charred remains of what was once a
classroom.
They are unhappy with having
to pay between R2 and R5 penalties for late-coming.
Parents, learners and teachers
met to discuss the problems yesterday. The provincial education department has
condemned the burning of school infrastructure.
It has however called on
schools to ensure that the code of conduct is in line with the constitution.
In the meantime Classes have
been suspended.
