The TikTok video of the four boys racially abusing a content creator gathered viral outrage with calls for harsh punishment
.Four Northern Cape pupils filmed racially abusing a popular TikToker have been suspended.
The Hoërskool Duineveld students repeatedly used racial slurs while addressing content creator, @UncleSeeno.“ Duineveld has acted immediately in line with their code of conduct and placed these learners on suspension,” stated Northern Cape Department of Education spokesperson Geoffrey van der Merwe.“Our school cultivates a culture of respect and tolerance for each other and therefore Hoërskool Duineveld distances itself from individuals.
“This learner was born in a free and democratic South Africa, so this is unexpected,” Maimela stated. “It is shocking. It is disappointing. It is hurtful that he can spew such remarks. This needs the attention of authorities at the highest level. It cannot be tolerated.” “Considering the painful history of racism and discrimination in South Africa, our country has taken a zero-tolerance to such behaviour and utterances. We need urgent action on the matter,” she concluded.Northern Cape Education Department calls for action over ‘racist TikTok’
