The learners were caught in the act when, according to the Daily Sun, the district officials in Ekurhuleni and members of a "community policing forum" came to do a surprise search at the school on the 24th of October.

What they had found in the children's bags were bottles and bottles of alcohol ready to be sold on the premises. In addition to the booze, some dangerous weapons were found. Some students advocated against the drinking the pupils did and said it disrupted lessons.
