It's alleged the stabbing occurred during a matric tradition called 'bombing,' which involves pelting school property and learners with packets filled with various items. 


Hershall's mother, Natalie Fynn, says this tradition needs to come to an end.  


"This got terrible, because they went for weapons. They should stop this bombing, because now criminals are coming from outside come and hurt the people." 


Natalie says it's hard not having her child with her.


"I felt so sad to lose a child. He told me that he is going to do everything for me, when he finishes his matric. He just did his learners licence and he said 'Don't worry mommy, I am going to make everything right for you'. 


"Everyday it was the same thing, he would say 'Bye mommy, I love you.' That's how it was, everyday, even at night before we sleep," she said. 


Five pupils are recovering in hospital after the deadly school stabbing.
