Cape Town - A Cape Town youth will appear in court for
allegedly killing a fellow pupil who refused to hand over his lunch, the Daily
Voice reported on Friday.
Aphelele Nogqala, 14, was stabbed in the neck at the
entrance to Isilimela Comprehensive School in Langa on Tuesday.
His mother Nomthetho, 49, said her son, who was in Grade 9,
had been complaining about bullies in his school.
"I don't know who stabbed him or why, but I keep
thinking about the day he told me that during lunch there would be other
learners who tried to take their food and he was one of the people who refused
to give it up."
She called on the education department to station metro
police officers at more schools.
Police spokesperson Captain Frederick van Wyk told the
newspaper a 15-year-old boy was arrested in connection with the murder and
would appear in court soon.
