Officials from the Western Cape Department of Education today visited Bulumko Secondary School in Khayelitsha, this is after pupils and teachers were threatened with knives by former students of the school. 

Safety in schools in the province has been in the spotlight after a matric pupil at Spes Bona High School in Athlone was shot and died later in hospital last week. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Bronagh Casey said officials from the WCED provided counseling to the teachers and the learners and the situation today was back to normal.

Casey added that police will continue to monitor the situation at the school and also the security at the school will be increased.
