EWN reports that Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi says a new professional security company has been appointed at a primary school in Soweto where at least 87 pupils have been sexually abused, allegedly by a school guard.  

The 57-year-old man was arrested last week.  Lesufi held a meeting with parents at the school where he revealed that yet another school in the province was being investigated for sexual assault.  It has emerged that a 17-year-old pupil was raped, allegedly also by a school guard, at a Pretoria school during a matric dance a few weeks ago.  Meanwhile, Lesufi said cameras would be installed at the Orlando East primary school.
