Maimela family demands justice after student's suicide

Описание: The family of Joseph Maimela, a Grade 12 learner who took his own life in October last year, says that the Department of Education has remained silent about the incident, despite assurances that an investigation was under way.

Maimela's passing has sparked widespread concern and outrage amid allegations that bullying by some teachers may have contributed to his decision.

Maimela left behind a suicide note detailing the alleged abusive treatment he suffered at the hands of some educators at Kgabo Secondary School.

His family suggests that the public release of his progress report card to the entire school community may have been the devastating catalyst that led to his untimely passing.
