Nine learners aged between 15 and 19 are expected to appear in the Mankweng Magistrate’s Court on Friday on charges of common assault and crimen injuria following an alleged attack on a school security officer at a high school in Mountain View, Boyne, outside Moria.
According to Limpopo police, the incident occurred on August 3, at about 8.30am while a 45-year-old security officer was carrying out access control duties at the school’s main gate.
Police spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba said a group of learners allegedly demanded entry onto the school premises but were informed that they could only enter the school if accompanied by their parents.
“The security officer reportedly informed the learners that, in accordance with instructions from the School Governing Body (SGB), they would only be allowed to enter the school if accompanied by their parents,” Ledwaba said.
