LEARNER DOES AFTER RUGBY MATCH
Sadly, another tragic incident has rocked Gauteng Education.
A Grade 11 boy learner from Jeppe High School for Boys in Johannesburg passed away on Tuesday, 5 March, after a rugby match with Hoërskool Die Anker in Brakpan.

Paramedics on site tried stabilising him and contacted an ambulance for further medical assistance. Unfortunately, the learner succumbed just after the ambulance arrived.
“Our Psycho-Social Support Unit has been dispatched to both schools for necessary trauma counselling and support.
“We are grateful to the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) for also availing their services for additional support at these schools,” he said.
