eNCA reports that a principal at a Soweto school is in a critical condition after being stabbed, allegedly by a former teacher.  

Police say the former teacher, who was fired last year from the Paul Mosaka Primary School in Pimville, attacked the principal as she arrived at school on Monday morning.  It is alleged that the suspect stoned the principal’s car before stabbing her.  Community members intervened and tried to apprehend the male suspect, but he was then arrested by police and is being detained at the Kliptown police station.  The teacher who was expelled apparently had qualifications errors.
