He died on the scene on Monday.
Dozens of learners, educators and community members have packed the AFM church for the funeral service with numerous speakers paying tribute.
The principal of the school says in his entire teaching career, this is the first incident of its kind to happen under his watch. He has appealed to his learners to take the incident as a learning curve on how they should conduct themselves.
