Girl suspended for bullying a boy at Randfontein school

The incident happened on Tuesday at the Hoërskool Jan Viljoen in Randfontein after both pupils had written exams.

In video footage that went viral on social media, the 16-year-old girl is seen assaulting the boy, also 16. “It is unfortunate that the incident happened at the time when learners are busy with their year-end examinations. We strongly condemn any misdemeanour in schools, which could lead to serious action being taken against a learner,” department spokesperson Steve Mabona said.

The department said it had sent its psychosocial team to provide necessary support to all affected by the incident.
