“The search aimed to ensure that learners come to school for learning not to be involved in anything that is against the law. Those that are found in conflict with the law will be dealt with,” said Mashalane.
“The school management was informed of what was found and parents of these learners will be informed of such.”
Mashalane said that the searches will be conducted regularly until schools become safer places for learners and educators.
