TOUGH: NPA se Ntabazalila

EIGHT learners from Milnerton High School are expected to return to the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court today as the case linked to a widely-circulated school assault video continues.

National Prosecution Association (NPA) spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said that the accused face eight counts of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

The case stems from a video that circulated in October 2025 showing a group of older learners allegedly assaulting a younger pupil during what was initially described as an initiation ritual.

A group of senior learners were shown hitting a Grade 8 learner with belts, a wooden log and hockey sticks.
