Approximately 50 children fled from Umdloti Primary School on Barrs Flats Road in Coniston – KZN after they allegedly witnessed a pupil being sacrificed by a one-legged ghost.
Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) were dispatched to the southbound lane of the R102 approximately one kilometre from the school after educators requested assistance to round up the learners who congregated on the side of the road.
On arrival at approximately 14:14 (Friday), teachers informed Reaction Officers that hysteria spread rapidly through the school after several learners reported witnessing the ghost slit the throat of a scholar with a knife and consume his blood. Children from grade R to grade 7 fled in an attempt to avoid being sacrificed. A grade 4 pupil stated that he was attacked on his right arm by the ghost. According to teachers, all pupils are accounted for at the school.
The children were transported back to school and dismissed for the day.
