SADTU's spokesperson Nomarashiya Caluza says such incidents are instilling fear in teachers and pupils.
"Something that we always say is that schools are no longer safe such that it is so easy for criminals to just barge into our schools and do whatever they want.
"We continue to please with the communities to love and protect their schools. It is only when communities members are ready to protect their schools that these killings can stop because people who are doing these things come from the community."
