KZN Education's spokesperson, Muzi Mahlambi says the department's launched its own investigation.
"We want to take this opportunity to reiterate our position and emphasize the assistance of parents in this regard because ourselves alone as the Department of Education we are unable to fight this scourge and eradicate it."
"So, we need parents to take care of what is it that learners bring to school," he says.
The 21-year-old suspect will be back in court on Monday.
