Suicide of Lufuno Mavhunga

In 2021, Lufuno Mavhunga, a 15-year-old girl who was a pupil at Mbilwi Secondary School, committed suicide after a video of her being bullied by two other pupils at the school circulated on social media. A 15-year-old was arrested following the incident. The South African Human Rights Commission found that the principal had previously been made aware of the bullying by Mavhunga's family but failed to address it. Save the Children South Africa called on the Department of Basic Education to take action against him.
