The Witpoortjie Warnings Group has urged parents not to let their children walk alone, and to make alternative arrangements so that they can get to and from school safely.
The Roodepoort Police spokesperson, Captain Juanita Yorke, confirmed the incident and said that a case has been opened and is being investigated.
When the mother of the victim was approached by the Record for comment, she declined to speak to our reporter, saying that Yorke had advised her to not speak to the media.
