A high school learner has been admitted to hospital following a gruesome stabbing involving two learners at Florida Park High School in Gauteng.

This is one of many stabbing incidents to take place at schools in the country.

The South African Democratic teachers Union (SADTU) Chairperson Bongani Mcoyana says that while violence in schools across the country is on an increase, the union strongly condemns the attack.
“We need to indicate that violence in schools, is in almost all of our schools. As SADTU we condemn it in the strongest possible term,” said Mcoyana.
