Gauteng MEC for education and youth development Panyaza Lesufi is expected to visit a school in Midrand on Friday morning where two pupils allegedly committed suicide this week.

Department spokesperson Steve Mabona said it happened at Noordwyk High Secondary.

Mabona said a girl is believed to have killed herself on Tuesday. Two days later a boy, said to have been her boyfriend, also killed himself.

"Our psycho-social team of officials are already at the school counselling learners."

Further details were not immediately available.
