The tragedy occurred just after the school assembly yesterday when pupils were returning to class.

Scores of learners and family members of the victims of the tragedy gathered at the school to pay tribute to their fellow learners on Friday evening.

Many brought flowers and embraced one another as they mourned.

Three learners died and 23 others were injured, five of them critically, when a walkway connecting the main building and the classrooms collapsed.

MEC for Education in Gauteng, Panyaza Lesufi, visited the school yesterday and said that the learners are receiving all the support they need.
