This is really heartbreaking- South African student commits suicide after being bullied����

A grade 10 Limpopo schoolgirl allegedly committed suicide after a video of her being bullied by fellow pupils went viral.

In the video, the pupil from Mbilwi Secondary School in the Vhembe East education district is seen being confronted by two other girls. One of them signals the other to move while she gets closer to her to slap her countless times. The victim grabs the pupil who is assaulting her in an attempt to block the blows.

Other pupils can be heard in the background cheering the alleged perpetrator, who is also in grade 10. 

Twitter users started a Twitter campaign on Tuesday in the name of the pupil.

Photos of the pupil who is seen assaulting her schoolmate in the video were also circulated on social media.

Limpopo education spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene confirmed the incident.

“The victimised pupil is reported to have since passed away. However, the cause of death is unknown. The department is awaiting a formal report on the cause from the relevant authorities,” said Chuene.

She said the department was concerned about an apparent increase in bullying incidents in schools around the province.

“The department has also noted another recording of a physical altercation incident involving grade 12 female pupils from Nthuba High School making the rounds on social media. Details of this incident have been requested from the school principal and due disciplinary processes will be undertaken immediately.

“It is quite disturbing to witness this level of violent behaviour among young people. We strongly condemn such conduct that has turned our schools into horrendous havens for  those who have no regards for their peers.  Bullying is wrong and will never be tolerated in our schools,” Chuene said.

Education MEC Polly Boshielo promised action against bullies.

“We send our condolences to the family and friends of the deceased pupil and pledge our commitment towards ensuring all those involved in bullying incidents are made to face the consequences of their actions,” she said.
