Johannesburg - Two initiation teachers were arrested for allegedly beating one of the initiates to death at the school in Orange Farm on Friday, Vaal Rand police reported on Saturday.
Captain Shado Mashobane said the teachers aged, 20, and 21, had accused a 20-year-old initiate of being weak and "not being man" enough, as he wanted to run away from the initiation school.
They allegedly beat him to death. His body was discovered by his father, who came to visit. He alerted the police.
The teachers were arrested and would appear in the Vereeniging magistrate's court on Monday.
