The attack took place exactly a month after the head boy of the same school also died in a stabbing incident. He was reportedly stabbed in the neck by his cousin in their home, last month.

This is the second Western Cape learner to die from stab wounds in two weeks, after Deveney Nel was killed in Caledon.

Western Cape Police Oversight and Community Safety MEC, Anroux Marais, condemned the incident.

‘’My plea is to any member of the public with information on the murder to please contact the South African Police Service urgently. This violence against the school-going youth of the Western Cape cannot stand. Together we can beat crime,’’ she added.

The MEC called on the public to come forward with information regarding the incident by contacting Crime Stop on 08600 10111
