Stern action must be taken against KwaDabeka school bullies: DA
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in KwaZulu-Natal says a strong message needs to be sent out to bullies.
The DA says the provincial Education Department must thoroughly investigate a vicious attack on a schoolgirl at Durban's Ilanga High School.
A video clip of the incident outside the KwaDabeka school last week has been shared on social media.
It shows a group of pupils ganging up on their fellow learner.
"The DA strongly believes that the book must be identically thrown at the perpetrators of this odious offence," says the DA's KZN spokesperson on Education Dr Imran Keeka.
"The KZN Department of Education must fully investigate this matter, involve the police and arrange urgent counselling for all those involved.
"In the interim, we urge those who come across the video clip not to share it. Doing so only causes more pain for the victim while they may also be legal implications given that these learners may be minors."
