After showing up at school with a bodyguard last Monday to protect himself from being bullied, a 16-year-old Grade 10 pupil at Grey College in Bloemfontein will now complete his studies at home, Rapport reported on Sunday.
According to the Sunday paper, the boy’s mother and the school came to this agreement because his safety is of concern.
This follows two incidents – one in March and another on October 12. In the first incident, his head was bashed against a wall and he was hit against his ear, causing damage to his eardrum.
On that Friday, the boy was allegedly kicked and rugby balls were thrown at him.
Last Monday, Netwerk24 reported that the boy was sent home within 15 minutes of showing up to school with the bodyguard.
The online publication reported that the school’s principal, Deon Scheepers, told the boy’ s mother that the boy was welcome to return to the school, but without the bodyguard.
The boy’s mother told Netwerk24 that, during the alleged attack, he and his family were sworn at by Grade 11 pupils, using the Afrikaans slur p**s and telling him: “You must leave this f*cking school.”
In a letter published by Volksblad newspaper, a Grade 10 pupil at the school wrote that the boy was assaulted because of his disregard of the school’s traditions.
“We don’t bully one another, but we sort one another out,” the boy wrote.
“He should have seen it coming.”
According to Rapport, the boy walked on a piece of lawn reserved for senior pupils.
In 2016, IOL reported that the father of a 15-year-old boy in Durban hired two security guards to accompany his son to school.
This followed an incident where a group of 15 boys charged at the boy wielding knives outside the gate of the Phoenix Secondary School.
IOL quoted the chairperson of the South African Council of Educators, Veronica Hofmeester, who said South Africa was second only to Jamaica when it came to violent incidents at schools.
When residents of Khayelitsha were woken up by screams of “Fire!” on Saturday morning, many of them scrambled to salvage the little they had, but were unable to do so.
The fire spread rapidly across the informal settlement with a strong wind fuelling its flames.
Sindiswa Mdikidiki said she thought the fire was far from where her now non-existent home was.
“I tried to get everything. I threw my baby out like a dog [to get her out of the fumes and fire]. I couldn’t get to everything,” Mdikidiki said.
“The fire made me confused, I’m still confused by what happened.”
No answers
Her teenage daughter has been asking questions that Mdikidiki says she has no answers to. Mdikidiki doesn’t know how her daughter will study for the upcoming exams – her school books are all gone.
The City of Cape Town on Sunday that more than 300 homes were affected in the blaze, while 1 300 people were now homeless.
Many of those affected are left with only the clothes on their backs and hope that tomorrow will bring comfort.
Another man says he was awoken by shouts, was caught off guard and ran outside naked.
“I heard people screaming ‘Fire’, I don’t know what happened. I ran outside naked and back in to phone the fire brigade,” he said.
The race against the fire was being lost and some were forced to watch their belongings disappear in the raging fire.
Sylvia Kanzi was not home when the fire swept through her home. She was alerted by her neighbours about the fire.
“I was shocked when I saw what was happening. I tried to save some things but I lost everything.
“It’s a fire, I can’t be angry at anybody, this could happen to anyone,” Kanzi said.

On Sunday, demarcating and digging seemed futile as the wind blew away residents’ efforts to start rebuilding.
A few people were attempting to dig trenches but it was quickly filled with sand blown by the gusts, by afternoon many had given up and opted to converse with each other.
Nofikile Jeyi, 68, who suffers from asthma and heart complications sat by herself, her crutch resting on her leg.
“I’m saddened sitting here in this open field with all this wind blowing.
“I’ve been coughing throughout the ordeal, even now, my chest is still painful,” Jeyi said.
She had not eaten for the day.
“Right now they are salvaging damaged material for me for further use,” she added.

Many had nowhere to sleep for the night and have made use of the hall to lay their heads down. Others are staying with friends and relatives. Luyanda Dashe has used the time to mark a piece of land for himself.
“The children aren’t safe where I stay and the house is too small,” Dashe says as he relentlessly digs into the soft sand.
One person died in the blaze and hundreds are left homeless.
Relief efforts have been arranged.

Like the human gut, the breast gland has a “microbiome” that’s influenced by diet, new animal research suggests.
Although the findings are preliminary, scientists hope their work might someday improve the treatment and prevention of breast cancer.
“Being able to shift the breast microbiome through diet may offer a new approach to preventing breast cancer or at least reducing the risk,” said the study’s lead author, Katherine Cook. She’s an assistant professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
For the study, the researchers fed female monkeys a high-fat Western diet or a plant-based Mediterranean diet for 2.5 years. They noted this is the rough equivalent of eight human years.
The monkeys who were fed the Mediterranean diet ended up with a different mix of bacteria in their breast tissue from those fed the Western diet – a roughly 10-fold increase in mammary gland lactobacillus, the researchers found.
There’s some evidence that this type of bacteria may help inhibit breast cancer tumor growth, the study authors said. The monkeys on the Mediterranean diet also had more bile acid in the metabolites in their breast tissue, which could also reduce breast cancer risk, the researchers said.
A Mediterranean style of eating emphasizes lots of plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts. Its followers use herbs and spices instead of salt, and also limit red meat.
“We were surprised that diet directly influenced microbiome outside of the intestinal tract in sites such as the mammary gland,” Cook said in a university news release. “However, we are just at the early stages of understanding how dietary effects on the microbiome might be used to protect women from breast cancer.”
Much more research is needed, the researchers said. Also, it’s possible that the results seen in lab studies on animals won’t be replicated in humans.
The findings were published October 2 in the journal Cell Reports.
