“After writing the book addressing the issue of bullying, I decided to include relevant contacts of registered institutions in the country so that those who are exposed to bullying can be able to find proper solutions without causing more problems,” Mahenga said.
He added that he is looking forward to sending samples of his book to various schools in the country and beyond because bullying is a phenomenon that has gone unnoticed in some instances.
