Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said the motive was still unknown and their investigations were continuing.
“The suspect was arrested on Thursday and will appear at Mokerong Magistrates Court on Monday for murder,” Mojapelo said.
Kale was a grade 12 pupil at Ebenezer High School in Mahwelereng zone 2.
Limpopo Education MEC Polly Boshielo sent her deepest condolences to the dead girl’s family, friends and the school community.
Boshielo said a young and promising life being taken away too early was reason enough for them to declare war on such cruel acts and brace themselves to fight like never before.
