    Another two men were arrested at an initiation school in Ottosdal after the death of two teenagers, North West police said on Thursday.

    This brings the total number of arrests to four, said Sergeant Karen Tredoux.

    Two teenagers from the school died and seven others were hospitalised with septic wounds.

    At least 21 boys, aged between 14 and 21, attended the school.

    It was closed down by police on Wednesday and two people were initially arrested.

    “The remaining 12 were handed into the custody of their parents and are also being treated for wounds,” Tredoux said.

    The four are expected to appear in court next week. – Sapa
