A Johannesburg high school will be searched for guns and drugs on Tuesday morning, metro police said.
”We have received numerous complaints from the principal [of Intereleng Secondary School at Diepsloot] that learners go to school with illegal firearms,” said metro police spokesperson Superintendent Wayne Minnaar.
Drug abuse among pupils at the school, north of the city, is apparently also becoming a serious problem, said Minaar.
Minnaar said about 100 officers — from the South African Police Service and the Johannesburg Metro Police — will conduct the search, which is due to start at 9am on Tuesday and expected to run until midday. – Sapa
