Inanda schoolboy 'scared to return to school'
The 12-year-old boy who was allegedly raped by three other pupils at his school in Inanda is unlikely to write his end-of-year exams.
The boy's family says he is too scared to return to school.
The three pupils aged 18, 19 and 20 - who are accused of attacking the boy at the Sithabile Secondary School were granted R2 000 bail each in the Ntuzuma Magistrate's Court, north of Durban yesterday.
The 12-year-old's mother spoke to reporters outside the court.
"When you mention school he gets tense saying he isn't safe there. Even in the community he doesn't feel safe. Psychologists warned he would be like this. He isn't going to write exams because he is even afraid of his school uniform," he said.
