In the statement, Plumstead High School (PHS) principal Craig George said the school is investigating and in the process of ‘addressing the issue(s). We can assure parents/guardians that the matter is currently being dealt with.’
The statement came in response to two photos shared on social media platforms, in which two male learners – in full uniform – can be seen brandishing weapons and what appears to be liquor bottles.
Facebook users were shocked at the images, drawing a slew of criticism:
- They should be reported and take to jail and see what it is like in jail. I blame our Government!
- All because of goverment that the child have rights Really the kids of today have no respect towards parents & teachers.
- Simple. If they 18 and in matric arrest them.
- Call the police to put them in jail for day. Hope that will shock them.
- Kids aren’t kids anymore
- Sies!!! Do they think this is kwai ??? I remember 10 years ago almost being sent home because of not wearing the right pantyhose… The kids of today have absolutely no respect whatsoever
It is not clear whether the learners were on school property or not.
Cape {town} Etc reached out to PHS for an updated statement on the matter.
