GQEBERHA- Gqeberha lady shared on her social media account transactions donating towards Cwecwe’s mother, for the victims education.
South Africans started their weekend with heavy hearts after learning about the heartbreaking news of a seven-year-old girl, allegedly assaulted at school. The youngster’s mother, Officer Thandekile Mtshizana broke her silence and shared her child’s tragedy online.
The 30-year-old mother from Matatiele and sexual assault victim told the detailed story of the disturbing incident dating back to 14 October 2024. The case had allegedly been dragging because of the lack of cooperation from the independent school, Bergview College, that expelled the learner and issued her a transfer letter without parental consent.
A generous lady, Chwayita Xwayi, donated R10K towards the young lady’s education and captioned her Facebook post, “I know this child’s pain, it’s so close to my heart. Cwecwe deserves a very comfortable education. I wouldn’t even mind if as a community we can help get the best school. I don’t usually share but this one touched me. No amount of money can heal her mother but let’s help her where we can.”
South Africans shared awareness about the heart-wrenching news and caught the attention of the Eastern Cape Education Department, which issued a statement on the 28th of March saying.
“The Eastern Cape Department of Education has issued a notice with the intention to deregister Bergview College, an independent school located in the Alfred Nzo West Education District. One of the conditions for the registration of independent schools is that they must provide a safe and secure schooling environment. The case involving a 7-year-old learner at the school and the current investigation, and the handling of the matter by Bergivew College, has violated the conditions regarding safety of learners”.
