Violent end to matric party

A MATRIC after-party at the Port Elizabeth beachfront's Lush Restobar ended in chaos when three suspected gangsters linked to the notorious northern areas Up Stand Dogs gang allegedly stabbed two brothers during a botched attempt to rob them. Kurt November, 20, was stabbed nine times in the Dolphin's Leap Entertainment Complex parking lot and is in a critical condition in Greenacres Hospital. His brother, Darren, 22, who jumped in to help him, was hit over the head with a firearm and stabbed in the hand. Both men had been partying with the matrics earlier. - Gareth Wilson, Ma-Aasha Ismail and Alvené du Plessis
