Condolences are pouring in following the death of four pupils after a walkway collapsed at the school on Friday. More than 20 pupils were injured in the tragedy.

As a father of two kids himself, he feels there's no way this should have in anyway detoured and become a race issue. And he's disgusted at some unsavoury tweets that have been floating around on Twitter.

There were comments on social media saying the death of the kids was 'God's work' and one even went along the lines of 'now there are four less land thieves to worry about'.
