ActionSA maintains that justice should be served, the law should be enforced, and those guilty of causing harm should be prosecuted.
ActionSA is demanding that the teacher responsible for allegedly bullying and making homophobic comments to a now deceased Sibusiso Mbatha be suspended until the investigation has been concluded and a verdict has been reached.in Thokoza to present the independent law firm appointed to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
“Families place great trust in educators to not only teach their children but to also care for them. This is a complete destruction of trust, and it cannot be overlooked or downplayed. This tragic incident has posed the question: how many other children are unknowingly being bullied and attacked by their teachers and peers without any form of assistance?”
“It is a disheartening reality that Sibusiso is not the first and, sadly, not the last to take their lives as a result of bullying,” Ngobeni lamented.He emphasised that schools are meant to be a safe haven for all children – a space for them to be themselves and engage with other children from all walks of life while learning.
