Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane is on Friday expected to visit Geluksdal Secondary School in Brakpan.
A Grade 10 pupil was stabbed to death on Thursday.
Gauteng education spokesperson Steve Mabona said the fight had been about the pupils pepper spraying other pupils at school.
“Subsequently, about eight learners confronted them about their behaviour, and they stopped. However, it is reported that the perpetrators emerged after school in the company of unknown persons who are not from the school,” said Mabona.
This is the second incident of school violence in Gauteng in the past week.
The pupil accused of killing his classmate was taken to hospital.
Police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Sello confirmed that police were investigating the matter.
