Cape Argus reports that on the second day of the second term, a school principal was brutally attacked by two assailants and stabbed multiple times at his school premises.  

The Western Cape Education Department said it was monitoring his condition after two attackers entered the school premises on Wednesday morning and stabbed him.  It appears the attack was in retaliation against Wayne Abrahams, principal of the Bishop Lavis School of Skills, for having commenced disciplinary proceedings against a pupil who had shot another in the leg in March.  The principal had been threatened prior to the attack.  Safe Schools has arranged four additional security guards, while the Metropolitan Police have deployed two additional School Resource Officers to the school.
