It is with great sadness that the community learned of the death of Grade 10 Forest High School pupil, Daniel Bakwela (16), who was stabbed to death at the school on Monday, 3 June. tame TIMES understands that Bakwela was killed during an alleged gang rivalry fight between the “STK (Stoutkinders)” and “IDV” gangs. Three learners were reportedly attacked: two were hospitalised but Bakwela died on the scene. Reports confirm that Bakwela allegedly got into a fight with the accused that was on his way to write an exam. It is alleged that after the first exam session the accused was standing outside the school with his friend. It is believed that Daniel and five other young men attacked the accused. According to TimesLive the mother of the deceased is in mourning and a scuffle involving alleged gang members broke out at the first court appearance of the accused on Wednesday. The pupil accused is 19-year-old Muhammad Mowela, a fellow learner from Forest High School. The 19-year-old states that he “came under attack” and was defending himself, his legal representative said in

court on Thursday, 6th of June. According to TimesLive during the bail application Moela submitted a written affidavit, which was read by his attorney Mudi Mavhengani. He argued that it would not be in the interests of justice to be denied bail as he had been attacked by alleged “Stoutkinders” gang members, popularly known as the STKs. “On the day in question, I had come under physical attack by the members of Stoutkinders gang, as they are called. The deceased [Bakwela] dropped a knife that he had in his hand. After I had beaten him with a stone, I then picked up the knife … and stabbed one of the gang members, so that I can run for my life. These gang members chased me as I was running back to the school,” read
the affidavit. The National Prosecuting Authority said it did not oppose bail as Moela was not a flight risk. The magistrate, BC Molwana, said he would not make a ruling following material defects in Moela’s affidavit, missing signatures in the prosecution’s affidavit, and because he still had to read up on the school’s policy on age limits and other legislation. The bail application of 19-year-old Muhammad Mowela, was postponed to Monday, 10 June. This story will continue in the next tame TIMES where we will report on the magistrate’s decision on the bail application.

City fights pollution through monitoring stations POOR AIR QUALITY IS COMMONLY KNOWN FOR ITS CONTRIBUTION TO, AMONG OTHERS, RESPIRATORY AND CARDIAC DISEASES. Poor air quality is commonly known for its contribution to, among others, respiratory and cardiac diseases. According to the World Health Organisation poor air quality kills people – causing an estimated 4.2 million premature deaths in 2016. World Environment Day is celebrated on 5 June, under the theme “Beat Air Pollution”. The City of Ekurhuleni being an industrial hub has deployed 10 Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations across the City to identify sources of potential harmful emissions. Waste is also one of the many contributors
to air pollution. The toxic substances in air contaminated by waste include carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. With the approaching winter season, residents are encouraged to think twice before burning any rubble as it also directly adds to the pollution. Where sources of air pollution are identified, the City dispatches Air Quality Practitioners to the premises suspected as sources to evaluate compliance with the Air Quality Standards. The standards prescribe the acceptable level of pollutants that cannot be exceeded during a given time in a defined area.
