VIDEO: Lincoln Corner, Zaide Vigeland and Leo Weber assault Katlego Ncapai with a belt at Milnerton High School

According to information reaching our desks, Lincoln Corner, Zaide Vigeland, and Leo Weber assaulted Katlego Ncapai with a belt at Milnerton High School.

Siv Ngesi, a Cape Town socialite, led the charge and was one of the first to broadcast the footage on social media, writing, "Name and shame all these little b*****s!" I loathe bullies! But I do enjoy bullying bullies!"

He later stated that he and others were looking for the youngster who had been assaulted to offer assistance.

The footage, reportedly filmed at Milnerton High School, shows a group of boys hitting a classmate with what appears to be a pipe while others laugh and cheer. The boy’s pain, visible, raw and humiliating, has ignited national outrage and a painful conversation about the dark reality of school bullying.

For a parent, nothing is worse than seeing your child suffer, knowing you couldn’t protect them. Many South Africans felt this same pain this week when a video spread online showing the Cape Town schoolboy being violently attacked by other students.

One X user wrote: “The ripple effects: When the bruises fade, but the damage doesn’t”.

We keep saying ‘not again,’ but it keeps happening, another X user wrote. “Our schools are becoming trauma zones.”

Another parent commented, “It’s not just about discipline, where’s the empathy being taught at home?”
