Perpetrators of arson at school should rot in jail

EVATON.- The African National Congress (ANC) in Gauteng has called for the speedy arrest of the perpetrators of the act of arson that saw Tokelo High School in Evaton suffer damages estimated at R4 million on Thursday morning.
The party said that the culprits deserve to rot in jail.
“The ANC is of the view that the burning of ICT classrooms and learning material at the school is an act of sabotage that is aimed at undermining the future of our children. We call on the community of Evaton to work with the police to help bring to book those responsible for this callous act of cowardice,” ANC Gauteng said, further adding that,
“The future of Gauteng and that of the country depends on our ability to produce the kind of skills, especially in the context of the fourth industrial revolution that will enable South Africa to be globally competitive. Central to this is ensuring that we provide quality education and excellent infrastructure. Law enforcement agencies working on this case should leave no stone unturned to ensure perpetrators get to face the might of the law.”
