Matric pupils at two neighbouring high schools who were subject to a reign of terror that made national news beat the odds with good matric results. The pupils were terrorised by gangsters, attacked with guns and knives, raped, shot at, their homes broken into and their valuables stolen.
Kulanathi High School in Sikhobeni, the village of horror in Bhityi, has had several burglaries this year losing tablets, projectors, TVs and sports kit worth at least R500,000.
