DESPATCH - ALLEGATIONS OF BULLYING AFTER VIDEO SURFACES SHOWING 2 PUPILS FIGHTING OUTSIDE DESPATCH HIGH SCHOOL

Despatch High School this week became the latest school to be rocked by allegations of bullying after a video of a vicious fight between two pupils briefly appeared on social media.

In June, school fights at both Pearson and Framesby high schools emerged through cellphone footage, prompting an investigation by the Eastern Cape Department of Education.

In the latest video, which was posted on YouTube on Thursday but removed hours later, a group of schoolgirls used a cellphone to film two boys dressed in Despatch High School uniforms who were fighting outside the school.

The group of girls appear to be walking down a street and then stop to focus on the two boys fighting on the grass.

One of the boys in the video holds the other in a choke hold and wrestles him to the ground before leaning over and kicking him in the head.

Another schoolboy then approaches the group of girls who are filming the fight and puts his hand out, also gesturing to them to stop filming, after which the video abruptly ends.
