Lesufi questions why ‘death camp’ still used by schools

JOHANNESBURG – Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said it must be investigated why the Nyati Bush and River Break Lodge has remained the camp of choice for so many schools, even after several children drowned there.

Lesufi has released the findings into its preliminary investigation into the death of Parktown Boys' pupil, Enock Mpianzi.The 13-year old's body was found in the Crocodile River last Friday, two days after he drowned. This week Eyewitness News revealed that at least four other pupils died at the Nyati Bush and River Break Lodge during school camps.Lesufi said that this information could have been discovered by any organiser with a basic Google search.He said it must be questioned why certain schools keep going back there.

“Why there is interest of schools to this camp, even if it’s a death camp? Are there financial benefits? Who benefits? And there is a certain pattern of schools that go there; it’s not your school from Soshanguve. It’s not a place preferred by average schools.” Lesufi said that the department would not be approving any school camps to the lodge while it is still subject to an investigation.

Like questioning why so many youths die at Xhosa male initiation rituals that consists of various stages such as pre-initiation preparation, the circumcision operation itself, seclusion in the initiation cultural. Alot more die at these rituals!

'Death Camp' a bit harsh...... 1 child died, yes it was unnecessary, tragic & negligence by school & teachers but 2 compare Nyati 2 Chełmno, Bełżec, Sobibór, Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, Troste etc is abit much. 1 drowning can't b compared 2 the slaughter of millions.

Because it's not a death camp you dummy 🤔
