Security has been beefed up in the vicinity of Heinz Park Primary School in Philippi where a teacher was gunned down.

The Samora Machel Community Policing Forum (CPF), spokesperson Bongani Maqungwana says members of the neighbourhood watch and more police have been deployed as learners return to class.

On Tuesday two male suspects approached the 52-year-old Thulani Manqoyi and shot him while he sat in his vehicle in the school’s parking area.

The suspected hit has left the community shocked and learners and teachers traumatised. The attack took place just before the commencement of the school day.
