Updated | By Gcinokuhle Malinga
ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed concern about
the apparent increase in incidents of violence at schools.

"The abuse and bullying at schools are a great concern,” Ramaphosa told teachers union SADTU in Kempton Park on Tuesday.
“The fact that teachers are now being attacked in class, in schools and some of them even stabbed and some even killed, it's something that we have never heard of."
Ramaphosa was addressing the first day of the union’s National General Council meeting.

The president also described incidents of racism at schools as a scourge that is trying to reverse the gains already made since democracy.
He says both government and society need to work together to ensure that schools are no-go areas for criminals.
"This means our school governing body, our community policing forum, our communities as a whole, our various local businesses, unions and the police need to work together to ensure that every single school in country is a place where educators and learners feels secure and safe."
