The Star reports that a Grade 8 pupil has been charged with murder after allegedly stabbing to death a teacher he accused of failing him.
The 15-year-old allegedly went to the teacher’s home in the early hours of Saturday and started breaking all the windows with stones. When Kingston Vhiya, a teacher at Bosele Middle School in Manyeding Village near Kuruman, Northern Cape, went outside, the boy allegedly hit him with a stone on the chest before stabbing him to death. Vhiya, from Masvingo in Zimbabwe, started teaching at the school last year. Northern Cape police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Dimakatso Mooi confirmed the incident, saying Vhiya had been stabbed with a sharp object. She said the pupil was expected to appear in the Mothibistad magistrate’s court on Tuesday on a charge of murder.
