The Department of Education in KZN says disciplinary processes are underway in a high school bullying case at King Cetshwayo District on the north coast.
It's after a video emerged on social media site, TikTok.
In the clip, a grade 11 learner claims to have been bullied for months by another pupil in her grade.

The teen says she decided to speak out after the boy assaulted her twice last week.
KZN Education's Muzi Mahlambi says the child's been assisted in opening a criminal case at a police station.
Mahlambi says they're also investigating.
"Over the weekend more especially on Saturday, we got hold of the girl, we arranged psychological session with one of the psychologists.
"We also assisted her in opening a case and we have heard that a lot of people are trying to access her, trying to advise her to drop the case. Its unbearable so that is why the MEC has called upon the members of the society to desist from wanting to contact the girl."
