The grade 7 pupil at the centre of the Khomanani Primary School rape and drugging scandal returned to school on Friday despite not facing a disciplinary hearing.
The Gauteng education department confirmed that the pupil, who allegedly drugged seven schoolmates before luring them to a 31-year-old man accused of raping them, underwent rehabilitation.
We can confirm that a disciplinary hearing did not take place since the learner was in rehab, said education department spokesperson Steve Mabona.
