There will be a prayer service this evening at Baukudi’s Martie du Plessis Special School in Fichardtpark.

The Department’s spokesperson Howard Ndaba says, “We’re also concerned and we would like to make an appeal to the members of the public to assist us to assist the police, to assist the family, so that we bring back this boy to the family and back to the school.”

Ndaba says, “As you know that we have learned about this incident last night through the police. We were not aware, but we will make sure that we work with all the stakeholders to make sure that we bring this line.”
