CAPE TOWN – Cape Town civic organisations say an integrated approach is needed to address violence in schools.Vanessa Adriaanse from Mothers for Justice says learner safety should be a priority for the government.
“We can do this all over. We went to a lot of places to encourage people to come and work together because despite the quality of work we’re doing we’re getting no assistance.”“We must involve SGB because the primary function also of the SGBs is to look at the safety. So, we must mobilise them and the learner to be part of this project.”Cape Town students are appealing to the government to step up and address violence in schools.
During the group sessions, learners suggested metal detectors, increased searches by police and other law enforcement agencies and patrols around schools where gang violence is rife.
These children are given too many rights and they using that so school violence is at its peek more is yet to come
