23 January 2020
Although his bravery nearly killed him, a KwaZulu-Natal teacher escaped with his life when he tried to save his colleagues during an armed robbery at the school.
Durban teacher KhethaNtuli was shot in the abdomen in Buhlebethu Primary School's main office in Inanda, Newtown C, when two former pupils and several others robbed teachers at gunpoint.
The robbers pretended that they wanted to register a child and a security guard took them to the principal's office where they were told registration was not possible, Education MEC KwaziMshengu said.
Mshengu visited the school on Thursday morning.
