The Police in the Erongo Region will take action against learners carrying life-threatening objects at West Side High School in Swakopmund. 

Unit Commander for Community Affairs in Erongo, Inspector Ileni Shapumba said this when he addressed boy learners, after a fight broke out at the school, injuring one pupil.
Inspector Shapumba, says it is disturbing to hear that some pupils are carrying sharp objects, such as knives, as well as using drugs and alcohol at the school.

In addition, he says stationery is also being used as weapons making the working environment for teachers and other learners unfavorable.

He called on learners to respect their teachers.

The school's head of department, William Innes says threats to harm another Child's life at schools will not be tolerated.
