Anti-bullying campaign champions awareness

As Mental Awareness Month comes to a close, a group of individuals alongside Mr South Africa finalist Nico Oberholzer, rallied on Louis Botha Drive to raise awareness on bullying.

For over an hour, the team embraced the traffic handing out close to 500 leaflets, waving flags and holding sign boards.

Bullying remains one of the most pervasive and devastating social issues of our time, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Its repercussions can be long-lasting, leading to severe emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts.

“Change starts with awareness. This morning, near Hoërskool Florida, we stood united against bullying – 500 leaflets, countless honks, and endless support. Together, we can create a world where kindness prevails,” Nico said.

Ward 85 Clr Zone Hughes also joined the team to help take a stand against bullying of all forms.
