Magister Educationis - Med / According to Morrison (2007), bullying is considered a critical issue in the
Western Cape Schools as well as in South African schools in general. This
phenomenon of bullying can affect learners in schools and may lead to several
problems such as low esteem, poor academic performance, depression,
absenteeism and eventually dropping out of school. In addition, numerous studies
in psychology have revealed that physical activity has positive effects on learners,
(Ajay, 2011; Shaffer, 2002). This is because it increases self-esteem in learners,
boosts confidence and builds the physical, social, emotional, moral and intellectual
composition in an individual. This study will aim (1) to determine the relationship
between bullying and physical activity among South African learners in one high
school in the Western Cape, (2) to measure the frequency of bullying at that high
school, (3) to measure the frequency of bully-victimization in the school among
South African learners in that high school in the Western Cape, and (4) to
establish the level of physical activity by the learners in the high school. This study
used a quantitative method and a descriptive survey as research design. The
participants were mostly black South African adolescent learners, aged between 14
and 20 years.
