A video of a KZN female pupil repeatedly slapping another pupil inside a school toilet over gossiping allegations has gone viral on social media.
In the 53-second video, the one pupil accuses the other pupils of gossiping and slaps her at least 10 times.
"What upsets me is that you are taking me for a fool," said the pupil before slapping the girl.
"That's what makes me angry. Why do you gossip about me?," the alleged bully says before slapping the girl again.
The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education said they were concerned about a video circulating on social media showing a disturbing incident of bullying at Nqabakazulu High School in KwaMashu.
In the video, a pupil is seen physically attacking another learner inside the school’s toilet.
KZN MEC for Education, Mr Sipho Hlomuka expressed his deep concern over the incident.
"Bullying as a whole is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our schools.
"We, as a Department, are committed to ensuring that all learners feel safe and protected within the school environment.
"We encourage learners to report bullying incidents so that they can be addressed immediately,"
