In the last few months there has been an increase in gang violence amongst the youth in Khayelitsha. The majority of the incidents happen outside the school premises, but there are concerns that weapons are being carried into schools for use after school hours.
SAPS has therefore conducted a number of search and seizures at schools as a security measure, as well as a means to deter learners from bringing weapons into schools.
