A teacher from Hyde Park Secondary School was also found dead on the institution’s grounds on Wednesday.
A Grade 11 pupil from Jeppe High School for Boys passed away on Tuesday after playing a rugby match against Hoërskool Die Anker in Brakpan.
The Gauteng Education Department said 16-year-old Kaiden Bowie started feeling unwell after the match. He reportedly collapsed just after walking off the rugby field.
“Paramedics on site tried to stabilise him and contacted an ambulance for further medical assistance. Unfortunately, the learner succumbed shortly after the ambulance arrived,” said the department’s spokesperson Steve Mabona.
The school confirmed the incident in a tweet on Wednesday.
“We are heartbroken to share the news of the passing of one of our learners, Kaiden Bowie (Grade 11 Koodoo), who tragically passed away yesterday afternoon,” it said.
