KZN Education vows to take action after attacks
The Department of Education in KwaZulu-Natal says it is taking incidents of school violence very seriously.
This follows two violent attacks on pupils at separate schools on Friday.
In one incident, a 17-year-old Grade 10 learner was stabbed in the neck allegedly by two Grade 8 pupils outside Trenance Park Secondary in Verulam.
He had surgery over the weekend, and is recovering in hospital.
