A 13-year-old girl named Anothando Willie left her community and school shell-shocked after she took her own life prior to being called a witch.
The suicide comes only months after Lathitha Nako, a Bhisho High School pupil in Grade 10, killed herself after being bullied for similar reasons.
Xolani High School’s principal is said to have tried to educate pupils, but two teachers are said to have called Anothando names.
