They are still confused about the killing of one student and the stabbing of two from Menzi that happened on Thursday afternoon in Mlaza.
It turns out that there was a quarrel between the students and some people outside the school when they argued for a reason that has not been fully confirmed.
It turns out that the core of the dispute was removed by the fact that there was a member of the community who called the students and accused them of selling (sweets) inside the school.
It is said that a member of the community scolded the students and threatened them that they should stop selling inside the school grounds or pay the same sales tax.
It turns out that this member of the community got fed up and poured water on them and repeatedly stabbed the students, seriously injuring two and killing one.
The source of this newspaper yesterday revealed that there is a lot of confusion about this incident as it is not clear what exactly happened.
”Actually, this incident happened outside the school grounds. We found out that a foreigner came and attacked the students and ended up injuring them,” said the source.
The source revealed that two students were rushed to the hospital, but one has been discharged and the other has not.
He pointed out that a case has been opened on this issue and said that they trust the police investigation to find out what really happened.
Yesterday, the ANCYL Wing went to Menzi after hearing about this Thursday’s tragedy. The Secretary of this unit, Ms. Nokulunga Khuzwayo, strongly criticized this incident.
”We are deeply hurt by the passing of a student in this way. We want the law to work..
Continuing, he said that they heard that the student made a living by selling. He described this act as showing great cruelty.
This school has been in the headlines in the past years when the Delangokoba people interfered with its construction because they wanted to be a part of it.
Its construction was finally completed after the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure in KwaZulu-Natal, Mr. Martin Meyer, intervened.
Menzi is ranked with other schools that produce good matric results year after year. The hard work of the teachers there is something that is always questioned by the whole country. Last year we did the same.
