At least three students have died and scores are trapped in rubble after a walkway collapsed at a school near Johannesburg in South Africa, officials have confirmed.
Panyaza Lesufi, the head of education for Gauteng province, gave details of the incident on Twitter shortly after the collapse at Hoërskool Driehoek high school in Vanderbijlpark.
It was not immediately clear what had caused the collapse.
Netcare911, an emergency services provider, said at least four people may have died and at least five were critically injured.
South Africa’s department of education extended condolences to the families of the students killed.
AfriForum, a civil society organization that represents Afrikaners, urged people to avoid the area so as not to interfere with the work of emergency responders.
