Parktown Boys' High allegedly roped in Women and Men Against Child Abuse to revive the camps for Grade 8 after the scandal around its former water polo coach. EnochMpianzi TheStar_news

Johannesburg - A prominent child-advocacy organisation was used by the "cruel" governing body at Enoch Mpianzi’s school to reinstate the notorious Grade 8 camps. The learner died last week during a "water activity" at the camp. The Women and Men Against Child Abuse has allegedly been roped into the cover-up of Enoch’s brutal drowning during last week’s Parktown Boys’ High School’s Grade 8 camp in North West.

The camp was suspended in 2018 after revelations the year before that Collan Rex, Parktown’s former water polo coach, had engaged in a slew of sexual and physical abuses of schoolboys. Rex was convicted and sentenced to 23 years’ imprisonment in November 2018 on 144 counts of sexual assault, and 17 of assault for a reign of terror which lasted from 2016 to 2017.

Sources have alleged that “the WMACA was used as a cover by the cruel SGB” to reinstate the infamous camps, with the child-advocacy body sending Luke Lamprecht, one of its senior specialists, to the camp this year.
