Tuesday, February 4, 2025 - Three school pupils in Durban were rushed to the hospital on Tuesday, February 4, after being stabbed during an alleged racial altercation.
Centenary Secondary School in Asherville issued a notice to
parents, announcing that classes would be dismissed early at 9:30 a.m. due to
"circumstances that have arisen."
Videos circulating on social media captured chaotic scenes
outside the school, showing pupils attacking each other while neighbors filming
the incident questioned the absence of security intervention. dRK Tactical
confirmed to TimesLIVE that three pupils sustained serious injuries in the
altercation.
“There was a racial altercation inside the school. Three
pupils were stabbed and taken to the hospital. Security personnel and police
responded to the incident,” a representative stated.
Despite the violence, the school informed parents that
classes would resume as normal on Wednesday, February 5.
However, a voice note from a witness urged parents of the
pupils involved to gather at the school. The individual alleged that police
attempted to de-escalate the fight inside the school but were unsuccessful.
“When the children were let out, even parents got involved,
hitting some children,” the witness claimed, calling for the governing body to
take decisive action. Parents were urged to meet at the school to address the
situation.
