The Western Cape Department of Education said a Grade 10 learner from Parel Vallei High School in Somerset West was attacked on Monday afternoon after he was stabbed with a knife. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Bronagh Casey said the learner sustained injuries to his neck area and he needed stitches.

Casey said now the school has reported an increase in crime against learners when walking home from school over the last two weeks.  Learners have reportedly been approached by strangers demanding cellphones or personal possessions. 

“The school has reported the incident to the police and has asked for increased visibility around the school community however the school has not had any threats from within the school all theses cases are outside of the school” Casey added.
