───   15:00 Fri, 28 May 2021
Violence and the abuse of drugs and alcohol are major contributors to bullying in schools, which was the focus of Members of Parliament (MPs) who debated the actions needed to put an end to it.
Opposition parties have criticised the Basic Education Department for inadequate policies to stop bullying.
The department says it'll be launching a nationwide, annual anti-violence drive, in response to rising cases.
At the forefront of discussions, was a bullying incident in Limpopo. It led to Grade 10 pupil, Lufuno Mavhunga, taking her own life.
MPs agree South Africa's generally violent society, is spilling over into schools.
