A Soweto teenager who took her own life after she was allegedly bullied by her teacher wrote a heartbreaking letter months before her suicide.
Nicole Mnguni, 18, was found dead by her mother at their home on Tuesday after the grade 11 pupil suffered months of humiliation allegedly at the hands of one of the teachers at Vorentoe High School.
The cause of her death has yet to be confirmed by a postmortem.
In the handwritten letter dated September 16 , Nicole describes how unbearable her life had become.
“I mostly fear going to my maths class, afraid of what my maths teacher will say or do to me to make me hate myself more than I already do. She enjoys embarrassing and humiliating me in front of my classmates,” Nicole wrote.
The teenager also stated that she was afraid to ask questions in class and felt sad most of the time.
