The mother of the victim, Thandekile Mtshizana, who is also a sexual assault survivor herself, was frustrated that her daughter’s case from October had not made any progress over the past couple of months because of the school’s lack of cooperation and turned to the internet for help. South Africans were loud on social media to spread awareness online and to urge the justice system to take action.
Lindsey was heartbroken by the tragic news and joined the movement by adding the hashtag on her bio, where she also linked the viral petition and asked the perpetrator:
“How can you be so sick in the mind?”
Lindsey also expressed her frustration after learning that Bergview College was deregistered:
“I don’t understand, if anybody goes to Bergview College, why are there no marches happening? Why is there no march happening at the college? I can’t find the principal’s name anywhere. Who is this man? What’s his name? Why hasn’t he been plastered all over the internet?”
More people from all over the world became aware of the heart-wrenching story because of South Africans’ social media protests in random people’s comment sections. Different TikTokkers joined the movement by using the hashtag.
