Many parents are scared of sending their children to school amid rising assault cases happening on school grounds. Mzansi urged for an emergency national shutdown to bring awareness to the issue.

After Cwecwe's story went viral, South Africans called for more investigations at her former school, Bergview College, since the incident allegedly occurred there. The principal initially resisted being investigated and protested the idea of having his DNA sampled.

The caretaker and the principal were the first suspects on the list and it was reported that both of their tests did not match the samples collected, which caused an uproar among social media users and the rest of South Africa.
