It is alleged that the confrontation started when two pupils who arrived late were denied entry to the school premises. They scaled the fence and mobilised other pupils, who were already in class, to join them and reportedly assaulted the teachers.

Limpopo department of education spokesperson Matome Taueatsoala confirmed that an internal investigation on the matter was underway. “The department appreciates law enforcement agencies' prompt intervention and confirms that internal investigations are underway.
