Sasolburg High School teacher Johan Jordaan shot in leg by Grade 9 youth, 15 - Three classmates of an armed pupil went to the personnel room and warned a female teacher that a fifteen-year-old boy was following them.
They were terrified. The youth stood around in the background while they were talking to the teacher, and when a question was asked of him 'what is going on?' he produced a gun. The children fled and the female teacher screamed.
The youth ran through the administration section of the school, two other teachers blocked him outside on the law and a scuffle ensued.
Jordaan was still trying to help the two teachers to get the youth 'calmed down' when he was shot through the leg.
The youth is in arrest. He is allegedly scheduled to appear at a discliplinary hearing on 8 October for suspected stalking and threatening behaviour.
Bystanders went through trauma-councilling after the event. Jordfaan is in hospital.
