Social media users flooded the comments section with support for Tracey's message.

@Sthenjwa🌸 said:

"Bullying should be considered a crime in South Africa ngeke phela 😩😩."

"Teachers teach academics, parents teach values, morals, and decency. When kids bully or disrespect others, that's not a school issue; it's a home issue. Accountability starts where they were raised. Fully agree with you!"

@Danny shared:

"I went to Milnerton High School, I'm shocked by this 😢."

@vexxa🍒 added:

"I didn't even finish the video 💔I got drained and chills from just watching."

According to Parliament's media statement, the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education got involved too. The Chairperson, Ms Joy Maimela, said she was horrified by what happened. The incident took place on 16 October 2025, just after school ended for the day. Ms Maimela made it clear that this isn't just bullying anymore; it's bordering on assault, which is a crime that needs serious action from everyone involved.

She called on the Western Cape Education Department to sort things out quickly and report back. She also reminded schools that they're supposed to have anti-bullying policies and actually use them.

Ms Maimela said schools should be safe places where kids can learn and grow, not places where they feel scared and embarrassed. She wants to see people held accountable, proper support for the victim, and real disciplinary action taken.

Briefly News contacted Milnerton High School for comment, but had not received a response by the time of publication.
