Since the passing of a grade 10 learner young Lufuno Mavhunga, people have been encouraged to also call out bullying saying it is unacceptable. The 15-year-old’s passing caused an uproar on social media and celebrities are calling for justice.
Unathi Nkayi is not only saddened by the incident, but she got encouraged to take matters into her own hands, and expose bullies. As prominent people, they are not immune to bullying and it happens almost every day on social media.
The bully by the name of Andile Simelane got what he asked for when he made fun of Unathi’s looks. He posted a before and after picture of her saying money made her more attractive.
“I would like to introduce you to @andilerh_simelane MY CYBER BULLY for TODAY. Tomorrow it may be someone else BUT today he woke up and decided he’s going to HUMILIATE me. I thought I’d give him what he wants ATTENTION,” she wrote.Unathi explained that she was feeling very sick the day the ugly picture was taken but a journalist wanted to take a picture of her anyway. “I was actually very sick here and the journalist forced me for a picture. But be the a**hole that you want us to know you as,” she said.Since getting exposed, the aspiring media personality dedicated his IG to her by changing his profile picture to the Idols SA judge and posted a series of IG stories apologizing.
