Westbury gang violence disrupts schooling

Gauteng Education MEC Lebogang Maile says gang-related gun violence in Westbury is severely disrupting teaching and learning. Five young people were reportedly shot on Monday, with three killed and two critically injured. One of those shot is a learner from R.W. Fick Secondary School. Some learners missed assessments and exams because of safety concerns, but Maile says they will be given another opportunity. The department has also strengthened psychosocial support and school safety measures.
