The family of a Mpumalanga teenager killed at school say they had rushed to the scene with their young children, not understanding how serious the situation was, only for the children to be traumatised by the sight of their relative dying in front of them.
Kamogelo Matsepe, 19, a grade 11 pupil at Moetanalo Secondary School in Middelburgs Mhluzi township, died after being stabbed by a fellow pupil on Tuesday, allegedly during an argument.
His aunt, Yandiswa Mize, said someone had called them and said Kamogelo could have been killed at school. As they did not have more information, they rushed to the school only to be traumatised by what they saw. Kamogelo, she said, could hardly breathe as he lay on the floor.
