School bullying in South Africa is no longer a whisper behind the scenes—it has become a systemic crisis. Already this year, the Department of Basic Education has recorded over 500 cases of bullying in just the first few months, with provinces such as Limpopo leading with the highest numbers. From physical violence in classrooms to relentless cyber-harassment, children are facing threats to
their safety, learning and mental health. Tonight, we unpack why this surge is happening—and what must change.
