Bullied boy dies after incident at school

Northern Cape police spokesperson Dimakatso Mooi confirmed that a docket had been opened into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mxolisi Nelson Qwele and that the case would soon be referred to the National Prosecuting Authority for a decision about whether to proceed to trial.

Qwele was allegedly throttled at school by a fellow pupil, four days before he went into a coma. A week later, he died.He wasn’t happy at all and often complained about bullying at the school. On Monday, November 17, a boy who is a year older than Mxolisi strangled him on two occasions.Although the circumstances around Qwele’s death are not yet fully known, his family believes that a bully at the school is responsible.

“His aunt, who raised him like a mother, took him to the doctor the next day. They just gave him throat lozenges and sent him home,” the source claimed.“He couldn’t speak and was struggling to breathe. That’s when his aunt phoned an ambulance.“He was such a nice boy. He went to church every Sunday and he called himself a pastor.

After so long after school closure it's only now that it's reported. I smell 'sweep it under the rug'.

This is so sad. There definitely seems to have been a dramatic increase in serious crimes by pupils at schools since the banning of corporal punishment. Anyone done the research?
