Govt takes dim view to threats of violence at some schools - Ntshavheni

JOHANNESBURG - Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni says government has taken a dim view to the threats of violence at some schools.

This after a family feud turned violent when controversial Pastor Paseka "Mboro" Motsoeneng stormed a Primary school in Katlehong over a custody 
battle earlier in the week.

Motsoeneng, his 27-year-old son, Revival, and their bodyguard, Clement Baloyi, now face a range of charges including kidnapping, and possession of unlicensed firearms.

Ntshavheni said that the latest incident needed urgent attention.

"The Department of Basic Education will continue to work with the SAPS to ensure schools remain safe spaces for learning and teaching and we also call upon communities to work with the Department of Basic Education, with the police and the governing bodies to make schools a safer space."
