"Thank you to everyone who has stood by me and refuses to tolerate social media bullying. It’s incredible how far we’ve come, and I truly appreciate your support and conviction. I’ll provide updates later, but for now, our judicial system is addressing those who think it’s acceptable to undermine someone’s dignity and toy with people’s livelihoods. Forward, comrades, forward!"

Legal insight from Advocate Ntobeko Maphanga

Briefly News expert Advocate Ntobeko Maphanga shared the legal steps one can take if they are being cyberbullied with the publication's journalist, Mbali Tebele.

He said:

"Cyberbullying often occurs in many forms. It can occur as intimidation, harassment, or a privacy violation. In instances where a matter concerning another person has been disseminated and published widely on social media platforms, etc., cyberbullying may also constitute defamation.

"The right to dignity is therefore protected under our law, and there are measures in place to protect victims of cyberbullying. Where cyberbullying manifests itself as a privacy violation or defamation, a victim can open a case of crimen iniuria at their nearest police station (or where the crime occurred). Crimen iniuria is the unlawful, intentional, and serious violation of the dignity or privacy of another."

Maphanga further shared that going to the police is the first step a victim takes to put a stop to that violence.

He said:

"Approaching the South African Police Service for assistance in matters of this nature is the most cost-effective solution to putting a stop these violations. The case will be investigated and handed over to a prosecutor, and the National Prosecuting Authority will ensure that the perpetrators are prosecuted and the case brought to finality. The same applies where cyberbullying takes the form of intimidation and harassment."
