A Professor of Gender and Childhood Sexuality at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Deevia Bhana, said “girls and boys who are seen as ‘soft’ or ‘gay’ are the main victims of bullying, name-calling, physical violence and sexual violence”. Initiatives should be created to train and support teachers, especially with regards to preventing and responding to school violence and bullying.Meanwhile, the South African government on Monday reiterated that all forms of bullying “are a serious matter and unacceptable”.
