Yesterday night at about 11pm two of the students, who came to our base for the outreach were stabed right in front of our base building by two uknown robers who's got a cellphone of the girl - one of the stabbed students. The guys from our base started to chase robbers but lost them in the darkness. Police has arrived 40 minutes later, so no one was arrested so far. Both of our students are okay now - the Korean boy was stabbed in the left shoulder and released from the hospital after a few hors, the girl from South Africa was stabbed in the neck and lost some blood but she is in stable condition still in the hospital. Entrance of our base building was covered with the drops and blood was even of the wall. It's washed by now but how can we wash the violence from the hearts of the people who did such thing. Our boy and girl were standing one meter away from the building filled with other people, speaking on the cellphone (the object of robery) and suddenly, without any warning, they both were stabbed by the strangers, who just wanted to get a cellphone... The cost of life here indeed can be measured by a few tens of rands.
