Why are school kids carrying weapons to school? Have they not learned anything from the mistakes others have made?

Act1 Scene 1.
The incident happened after school, so let’s not assume that the suspect had already in a position of the knife during school hours, the assumption is that he might had gone home and fetched the knife as he realised that Thato had already called his brother (Khotso) for protection.
Act1 scene2.
Now the cause of death might have been from the suspect but form the knife wound which might had been deep enough to cause the death, or we might find out that he an illness that the wound further made it worse (although this does not imply that mean that the suspect will not be charged for culpable homicide)
Act 1. Scene 3
Mind you that the intention from the suspect was not to kill Thato, but just a threat because he did not say ‘I will kill you after school’, then that could had been another issue with the suspect implying that he was on a mission to kill that day

Madame, who is being slow here, Honey: Picking up a knife and sticking it into someone is a violent act, there is absolutely no rational way around that. And anyone with half a braincell knows that the risks are high. If you are seriously suggesting that using knives to settle schoolboy disputes is a good thing, or even vaguely civilised, then you have a greater problem than I have thought so far. Actually trying to justify this is sheer madness.

No arguments as to how and when, the fact remain, he murdered someone. He had a knife all along. Poor boy only called his brother to escort him not to come and fight this bull.

We always encourage pupils to attend government schools and yet politicians and other rich people in this country don't even send their kids to these schools. Let me tell you one thing that the middle class and rich people here are laughing at the stupidity of these little thugs whom we sometimes praise for being cool. There is nothing cool about killing other people. We are worse than animals because they kill to feed and yet we kill to inflict pain on other families. To show that we are really a messed up country we don't lock up all these killers because we claim that there is not enough evidence. I guess you will be looking for evidence if it was your child who was butchered by senseless criminals. Anyway, these kids don't have anyone to look up to. Teachers are dating school kids, politicians can get away with corruption, parents sleep with their own kids. Based on this you can tell that we live in a sick society. Schools were once regarded as places of exploring new ideas and gain more knowledge but today it is a battle field. For what? South Africa ask yourself, how long are we still going to allow these barbaric acts in our country. We can't walk freely in our own neighbourhoods because we are scared of little Lucifers. Wake up mzantsi, wake up.

Later in class the suspect allegedly threatened to seek Thato out after school. Thato called his brother and asked him to escort him home. The fight outside the school premises allegedly started when Khotso arrived and tried to intervene

THE FIGHT OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL PREMISES STARTED WHEN KHOTSO ARRIVED AND TRIED TO INTERVENE. Where does he get the time to go home to get a knife? Why would the siblings stay and wait for him to return? He's a murderer and that's that
