Updated | By Noxolo Miya
KZN Education says it's launched an investigation into claims a teenage girl took her own life in the south of Durban after being bullied by a teacher.

Please note the following story contains descriptions of suicide some might find upsetting.
It's alleged the 15-year-old was mistreated and mocked by a maths and physics teacher at a school in KwaMakhutha.
It was apparently after her mother raised concerns about her daughter's marks last month.
The girl was found at home and rushed to hospital where she died two weeks ago.
