PRETORIA - Police will patrol outside two high schools in Pretoria where pupils attacked each other.
On Wednesday a Grade 12 pupil lost part of his ear after he was assaulted by a group of boys from another school.
A group of boys came towards us and one muscular one pulled out an axe and then I held his hand so that he wouldn’t hit me with the axe
The boy’s parents now fear for his life as exam time draws closer.
Oamogetswe Mgidi says he still doesn't remember how part of his ear got chopped off.
All the Grade 12 pupil can recall is fighting off a group of armed teens who attacked him outside his school on Wednesday.
"A group of boys came towards us and one muscular one pulled out an axe and then I held his hand so that he wouldn’t hit me with the axe. I saw another with a knife so as I’m struggling with the one with the axe the one with the knife tried to stab me and I duck,” said Oamogetswe.
His furious father says this is the second attack on his son this year. He suspects that Oamogetswe has been targeted because of his school duties.
The 19-year-old is a prefect, and is responsible for maintaining discipline, and assisting the deputy principal.
"I think my boy has been targeted because he has been involved in this school security issues where maybe this information was sent to outside if maybe they have bring he confiscates it,” said Lucas Mgidi.
The Gauteng Education Department says its investigating the incident. It’s asked police to patrol outside the school when pupils leave to go home.
The family says it doesn't understand how their son almost lost his life outside his school with two security guards manning the gate.-eNCA
