She said since the beginning of the school year, her daughter has been physically and verbally abused by some pupils at the school.
The second mother who has come out also claims her Grade 10 daughter has been victimised by alleged bullies.
The mother said she was called to the school last week Monday after another pupil allegedly attacked her daughter.
"When I got there she was crying, telling me another learner slapped her. The one who hit my daughter claims she's the reason her friends have been suspended from school. I then met with the deputy principal and said the culprit will not be allowed back in school until a decision by the SGB [School Governing Body]. Even when the deputy principal called her to his office, she ran and swore at him."
She said in previous incidents, a social worker and a psychologist from the provincial education department were called - but no counselling took place.
