Famouse people like Somizi are campaigning against bullying and urging the young people to communicate whenever they face such cases. Another girl from Nthuba High School was trending after being assaulted by another female student. Many think its high time Laws are reviewed so that children are kept safe and the consequences of bullying need to be done with immediate effect.
In South Africa, cases of bullying have been increasing and it disturbing that girls are dominating. This leaves the authorities think if something is wrong with our societies and what the real cause is.
