School gangsterism continues at Alexandra schools, despite the Alexandra community
police forum (CPF)
Alexandra police spokeperson Captain Steven Malatji said a group of boys closed down
Ikage primary school gate last week “we've been informed by Ekage Principal
sometimes last week that a group of school going boys from other schools came with
assortment of weapons, Seemingly a gangster. They waited at the school's gate and
attacked Ekage boys when they try to go home, they were held back and couldn't risk
going through.” Said Malatji.
Malatji said they managed to defuse the confrontation and eventually the group
dispersed and all boys went home safely but they can't guarantee that the situation is
totally brought under control as it may surface somewhere else were they meet again.
The spokerson of Alexandra police station adviced parents to have quality time with
their children, show interest on their kid's school work, build a close relationship so that
they ( kids) can confide in them and that will fascilatate openness and reliance. Every
problem they experience they will share and parents will be the first to know than their
school teachers and police.
