#DayOfPink: Stacey and J Sbu mark chat about the devastating impact bullying has

Loading player...
The 14th of April marks Day Of Pink, a day that is for raising awareness against Bullying, Discrimination, Homophobia, Transphobia, and Transmisogyny across the world.

In marking the day, Stacey and J Sbu wanted to focus on bullying that has been the reason for the devastating loss this week of a Limpopo, grade ten student at Mbilwi High School in Thohoyandou.

The reported bullying of the student was captured on a video that made the rounds on social media on Tuesday. The girl is believed to subsequently have committed suicide.

The East Coast Radio News Watch Team reported that in a statement, the Department of Education in Limpopo confirmed the incident took place at the school on Monday. In the video, other learners can be heard in the background cheering the perpetrator, who is also a Grade 10 female learner.

Stacey and J Sbu like many other South Africans were outraged by this tragic story.

Bullying is not however restricted to the classroom, many of us experience bullying in adult life. Whether it be online, at home, your place of work or in your social circle almost everyone has a story.
