He said:

Twelve school children between the ages of two and 14 were found to have sustained injuries, ranging from minor to moderate.

Jamieson added that more ambulances were dispatched to the scene.

“Once all 12 children were stabilised, they were transported to various Durban hospitals for the further treatment that they required.”
