# The Eastern Cape Department of Education has called for calm while it is investigating the death of a 16-year-old learner, Lathitha Nako, who committed suicide after apparently being bullied by fellow students at Bhisho High School on social media. The chief director at the Department, Mbulelo Mpupu, says it is a critical time when learners are writing exams and they are inviting everyone concerned to keep focused and make sure they support learners in completing the academic year. Nako’s funeral service is expected to be held on Sunday.
