VANDERBIJLPARK.- A Grade 11 student from HS Transvalia is currently recovering in hospital after he was stabbed several times by an unknown assailant on his way to school on Friday morning, March 8. He was left for dead.
The attack took place opposite Vaal Mall. Two good samaritans, Antoinette and Deon Heath who happened to be driving past the scene at the corner of Faraday Boulevard and Barrage Road, stopped to help the boy.

The people drove around him. His shirt was full of blood.
“When he lifted his shirt, there was only blood. We loaded him in the car and took him to his house.
His mother was at home,” says Antionette.
According to the victim’s mother, who requested that she and her son remain anonymous, he was stabbed in the stomach, lung, heart and back, among other areas.
