The club hostess and actress Tebogo Thobejane shared with Briefly News how the cyberbullying impacted her life and how she had to pick up the pieces after the incident. She said:

"I have been a victim of cyberbullying, which has resulted in significant negative effects on my mental health, including emotional distress, anxiety and depression. The constant online harassment has also led to a deep sense of isolation, financial strain and embarrassment."

The star further mentioned to the publication that people need to stop bullying and trolling others as this puts a strain on other people's lives. This comes after Thobejane was bullied by a former associate who called her all sorts of names, including that she is a scammer and a drug user, on social media.

This also caused Thobejane to flee the country in order to deal with the aftereffects of cyberbullying, and when she thought she was ready to make a comeback, another tragedy struck following an attempt on her life that resulted in the injury to her friend who was with her in the car.
