Forest High stabbing: 'Truth be told, our parents have failed us,' says pupil at Daniel Bakwela memorial
11 June 2019
If parents are always concerned like they are when there is a violent death at a school, then tragedies like the one outside Forest High School can be avoided.
This was the message from Representative Council of Learners president, Nobuhle Mashinini to a packed hall in Turffontein where 16-year old Daniel Bakwela's memorial service was held on Tuesday.
Bakwela was allegedly stabbed to death by fellow pupil Mohammed Mwela, 19, last Monday.
Mashinini said when an incident occurs inside school premises, then it is the responsibility of the school, but when it happens outside the premises, it is not only that of the school but also of the parents too.
