Violence and killing at SA schools: These stories shocked us in 2018- [Author unknown] South African schools have seen a number of violent incidents this year. In September, the government called on stakeholders to come together and address the escalating levels of violence in schools. "Violence in schools is a societal problem which requires all stakeholders to play their part to create a safe schooling environment," acting director of the Government Communication and Information System Phumla Williams said in a statement. This violence includes stabbings, rock throwing, assault and bullying - that have led to the deaths of both pupils and teachers - as well as sexual assault. Stone thrown at teacher On November 16, the Gauteng education department expelled a Soweto pupil who threw a stone at a teacher, causing the teacher to suffer minor injuries. The incident occurred at Albertina Sisulu Special School on a day when a Commonwealth ambassador had come to donate wheelchairs. In a video of the incident, the teenager can be seen chasing the teacher out of the hall. The teacher runs away, while other pupils and teachers try to stop the pupil. A teacher can be heard asking what his problem is. The pupil replies: "I have been patient with him for too long. Today, he will k*k himself." Water in teacher's face Also in November, a Kimberley Boys' High School pupil, seen throwing water in his teacher's face in a viral video on Twitter, was suspended and will attend a disciplinary hearing, the Northern Cape education department said. The video shows the young man with a water bottle in his hand. He says: "You're a good teacher, ma'am." He then throws the water in her face as his classmates crow in the background.
