Ballito school stabbing case postponed to 30 October as teen seeks legal aid

# The KwaDukuza Magistrate’s Court in KwaZulu-Natal has postponed the case of a 16-year-old boy accused of stabbing a six-year-old girl at a school in Ballito to 30 October. The teenager faces charges of attempted murder, housebreaking and trespassing. He has applied for legal aid, and the state intends to oppose his release on bail. The case was heard behind closed doors because the accused is a minor. The girl remains in a serious but stable condition in a Durban hospital.
