SAHRC hearings: The lies and incompetence behind bullying and crimes in schools
Fearful principals; suicidal, bullied children; lack of proper access to vital databases listing unsuitable teachers; unresponsive government departments. These factors show the lack of commitment to dealing with corporal punishment, bullying and sexual relations between teachers and learners in this country. Those people who claim that they are fighting this triple challenge are merely paying lip service.
A video of a learner being bullied or a teacher administering corporal punishment will emerge again on social media, just as it did with Lufuno Mavhunga, who later killed herself. There will be more public outrage; yet again, hashtags will be created and trend on Twitter. Politicians will condemn the situation, but that is as far as it will go. Life will continue as usual until the next incident.
A vaccination plan for teachers is still in the planning phase and "nothing is confirmed yet", the national health department has said amid a leaked KwaZulu-Natal provincial health memo.
