Lester Kiewit speaks to Stephen Price, Principal at Lotus High, about the recent video showing disturbing acts of school violence. A shocking video has surfaced on social media, showing a young boy being choked until he loses consciousness, while another widely shared clip captures a group of boys and girls attacking a lone female student. The footage has sparked outrage and deep concern among parents, educators, and the broader community. Mr. Price confirmed that a SAPS case has been opened, and Grassy Park SAPS has identified the boy in yellow, who is not a Lotus High learner, with appropriate action to follow. All identified Lotus High learners in the video have been suspended and will attend disciplinary hearings on Saturday morning. The school is following due process in dealing with the learners in accordance with regulations and remains deeply dismayed by the violence. Mr. Price emphasized that Lotus High will use all available measures to deal severely with those responsible.
