SADTU calls on Kraaifontein community to assist police in finding school principal's shooters

CAPE TOWN - The South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) is calling on the community of Bloekombos in Kraaifontein to assist police in finding those responsible for the murder of a school principal.

Ekuthuleni Primary School principal, Jeffrey Sigudla, was shot and killed while he was sitting in his car outside the school on Thursday morning.

His wife also sustained gunshot wounds.

SADTU said it was shocked by the killing of the Ekuthuleni Primary School principal.

The school is still a crime scene and police detectives are combing the area for clues that could lead to arrests.

SADTU provincial secretary, Sibongile Kwazi, was at the scene earlier and called for police visibility around schools.

"And it actually confirms what we have always said that schools are the microcosm of the society we live in. If we live in a violent society, it will spill over to the school."

Kwazi added that nothing could've prevented the shooting as it took place outside the school premises.
