A municipality in the Free State has launched an anti-bullying campaign after a video on social media showing pupils being bullied by schoolmates at Ntsu secondary school in Bethlehem.
In one video, a boy is forced to do push-ups while stripped naked in full view of other pupils. In the background, other pupils, believed to be the bullies, are carrying what looks like a stick as they instruct him. Another video shows a girl being repeatedly slapped across the face.
Dihlabeng Local Municipality mayor Tseki Tseki visited the school after becoming aware of the videos.
