Parent Mzamo Billy was also dropping his child off in the morning and arrived minutes after the shooting.
"It is obviously concerning if criminals are able to identify and shoot parents in an environment such as schools where there are young kids who shouldn't be subjected to that kind of behaviour and trauma.
"But I have no doubt that it is something that no school would expect such a thing to happen."
Police in Pinetown are investigating an attempted murder case.
