The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) in KwaZulu-Natal calls for an independent investigation after a learner from a school in uMhlathuze was allegedly seriously assaulted at a school event after school hours.
According to the information provided to the party, the learner sustained serious injuries and is currently being treated at a local hospital’s ICU.
There are allegations that the school’s response was not in line with the urgency and seriousness of the incident. According to the party’s knowledge, the alleged perpetrators are allowed to continue participating in school social activities and are still victimising other learners.
The Freedom Front Plus has already submitted a formal written request to the MEC for Education, Mr Sipho Hlomuka, as well as to the relevant district department for a comprehensive and independent investigation.
The investigation should determine, among other things:
- What exactly caused the learner’s serious injuries;
- Whether the school’s handling of the incident was appropriate and accountable;
- What preventive measures are currently in place to avoid similar incidents;
- Whether there are relevant policies, supervisory staff and monitoring equipment in place, and whether these were correctly applied at the time of the incident.
Bullying and violence in schools should never be normalised or ignored.
It is the seed of a violent society and has to be nipped in the bud at once. The safety and protection of learners should always come first.
The Freedom Front Plus will keep a close eye on the matter and is prepared to consider further action if necessary.

\”Reeeelly??\” says Van.
\”Ja\”, says the larnie. \”Check, there\’s someone up front now, I\’ll show you!\”
He starts steering towards the pedestrian, grinning from ear-to-ear, then at the last second he swerves back onto the road. But he hears a terrific \’thud\’, and he glances left to see Van closing the door.
\”What the hell, man!\’ he shouts.
\”Jirrah\” says Van, \”You need to get those sights adjusted, china, If I hadn\’t opened the door, you would have missed him completely!\”

Van is getting married, but he and his fiancee have never done the deed – in fact he\’s never been with any woman before. He\’s getting more and more nervous as the big day approaches, so he confides in his friend. His friend says \’No worries man. I\’ll come by the honeymoon suite before you guys get there, and I\’ll hide behind the curtain, and I\’ll whisper instructions to you.\’
\’You\’d do that for me?\’
\’Sure thing man!\’
So the wedding day arrives, it was a lovely service (so I was told, I wasn\’t there myself) and Van\’s friend sneaks into the honeymoon suite as promised and hides behind the curtain.
Van and his new wife arrive in the room, get settled on the bed, and things are getting steamy.
But Van is still super nervous and his tummy is bubbling, so he murmers to his wife, \’Listen babe, I\’m just gonna go to the bathroom quick. I think it\’s that wors roll from earlier.\’
\’Sure thing babe.\’
So Van goes into the bathroom, and he\’s taking quite a long time. And his wife is starting to feel the nerves herself. And it\’s getting worse. She can\’t hold it in. But she doesn\’t want to go after he\’s gone and totally ruin the mood. So she looks around and finally finds a shoebox. Quickly, she does her business in the shoebox, and she shoves it under the bed just as Van comes back from the loo.
Van gets back on the bed and they go at it again. But after a minute or so Van smells something not so lekker.
\’What\’s that smell?\’
\’Nothing babe,\’ he wife tries to assure him.
\’No man there\’s definitely something not so lekker in this room!\’VSo Van starts looking around the room, in the corners, in the cupboard, and finally he looks under the bed, and sees the shoebox.
He pull it out, and opens it up, and in horror he shouts \’Sies! Daar\’s kak in hierdie doos!\’
And from behind the curtain his friend yells, \’NEE MAN, DRAAI HAAR OM!\”
