Bullying is rife in South African schools, and its impact extends way beyond the playground.
During Siphamandla group sessions, the children discussed bullying – what it is, the different forms it can take, and the impact it has on both victims and instigators.
The kids learned what to do if they experience or witness bullying; they gained greater empathy for others, and are committed to promoting a safe, respectful environment at school and at home.
