SA Rugby President Mark Alexander has issued a scathing condemnation of a bullying incident at Milnerton High School that went viral on social media this week, revealing that one of the alleged perpetrators has represented South Africa at national schools rugby level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The disturbing video, which circulated widely across social media platforms, shows a learner being assaulted by a group of fellow students in what appears to be a coordinated attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This type of behaviour has no place in society and would never be tolerated in a rugby environment,” Alexander said in a statement released by SA Rugby today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revelation that a national schools rugby representative was allegedly involved has prompted SA Rugby to distance itself from the incident while reinforcing the sport’s core values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is unfortunate and unfair that a schoolyard incident has been linked to our sport, but we take this opportunity to underline rugby’s values,” Alexander explained. “Our sport teaches discipline, humility and empathy – values that are foundational to a child’s development and to the spirit of our sport.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexander made it clear that SA Rugby maintains a zero-tolerance approach to bullying, regardless of a player’s status or achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Individuals who engage in bullying are not welcome in our sport, which prides itself on respect and integrity, regardless of its physical nature,” he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SA Rugby president issued a direct warning to aspiring rugby players: “I urge all young men and women aspiring to build a future in rugby to heed this warning: bullying is totally unacceptable.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While expressing willingness to collaborate with educational institutions on behavioral issues, Alexander acknowledged that the matter falls outside SA Rugby’s direct jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We would have welcomed the opportunity to work with the school regarding this unacceptable behaviour, but the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the education department,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexander expressed confidence that both Milnerton High School and the Western Cape Education Department would “take the sternest possible view once all the facts have been established.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident has reignited discussions about bullying in South African schools and the responsibility of sporting bodies to uphold values both on and off the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
