An 18-year-old has been arrested for the stabbing of a 15-year-old pupil at Modderdam Secondary School in Bishop Lavis on the Cape Flats, but the victim's family have chosen not to open a case because are afraid for their safety.

His father is sick."Jessica Shelver, the spokeswoman for Western Cape Education Minister Debbie Schafer, said the school had not reported any stabbings over the past year but added that violence was rife in the area."School safety is an ongoing concern, especially when there is a flare-up of gang violence around our schools.
