ix learners at Milnerton High School have been expelled following a shocking bullying incident that shook the school community last year. The incident, which was caught on video and widely shared online, showed a Grade 10 learner being viciously attacked by a group of fellow students. The footage sparked national outrage and urgent demands from parents and activists for stronger measures to combat violence in schools. The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) confirmed that the expulsions came after the school’s disciplinary hearing, which was subsequently upheld by the department. According to WCED spokesperson Bronagh Hammond, “Following the outcome of the disciplinary process, the Head of Department has endorsed the school governing body’s recommendation to expel six learners from Milnerton High
“They must not contact any witnesses or complainants, directly or indirectly ...” - Bronagh Hammond School.” Of those expelled, five are in Grade 12, while one learner is in Grade 10. CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS UNDERWAY Eight learners connected to the assault face criminal charges of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. While six of the accused appeared in Cape Town Magistrate’s Court, two minors are being dealt with separately in the Children’s Court. Eric Ntabazalila, spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority, explained that all eight were released on bail after being found to have no prior convictions or outstanding warrants. TO PAGE 2
