“As a precautionary measure, the learners were closely observed and they showed no signs of being ‘high’,” said a source close to the incident.
The pupil who brought the cakes to school for lunch was indeed found in possession of dagga and this is why it was suspected that the cakes were ‘spiked’ with marijuana (dagga).
“The school is handling the issues internally,” added Captain Nyathi.
