Classes resume at Greytown school following assault on two pupils

This, after pupils were sent home on Thursday and Friday following an attack on two pupils by a group - believed to have been pupils from the same school - on the school's premises.

The children were reportedly assaulted with sticks and bush knives.

The pupils managed to escape but were hurt and needed received treatment at a local clinic.

The Education Department's Kwazi Mthethwa says everything went well yesterday.

"Learners were in class even on Saturday - Saturday classes took place very well. What is important is that learners are in class learning and everything else will be sorted," he said.

It's unclear what led to the attack. Police are investigating a case of assault and no arrests have been made.
