May 25, 2012 News

 

Two schoolboys, after refusing to pay the fares of a route 45 (Kitty/Campbellville) minibus, reportedly decided to not just run away, but to take some cash with them.
This was according to minibus operator, Zakeer Hussein, who explained that his 18-year-old son, Ganesh, was conducting the minibus yesterday afternoon, when two boys dressed in Richard Ishmael High School uniforms, exited the minibus and refused to pay the fare for their ride.
The man said that the two students, who appeared to be in a senior class, threatened his son with a knife, grabbed the teen’s hand, and ran.
Hussein related that his son then chased the two boys, but they managed to make good their escape.
“It’s not about the money. It’s that these is li’l boys, going around robbing people with knives. I am very much scared for me son, because these boys is not boys but gang men. They dangerous,” Hussein reflected.
He added that he and his son can positively identify the boys, and are planning to visit and inform the school’s administration.
The matter is being investigated by the police.
