Police spokesman Captain Vincent Pandarum said Thobani Philani Shezi (21) and a group of other pupils were outside the school gates when they were approached by two men who robbed Shezi of his cellphone. One of them then stabbed him in the chest.
He was carried to the principal’s office where he was attended to by police and paramedics. He was pronounced dead a short while later. “No arrests have been made at this stage but a murder case has been registered by SAPS for investigation,” said Capt Pandarum.
