ensure you cover all the fronts because all of us we need accountability, and the reason why the police are involved is that people must be arrested," he said.The 13-year-old Grade 8 pupil died after he drowned at a school orientation camp in the North West.Addressing the media on Friday, Lesufi announced that the principal of the school has been suspended.One of the findings of the investigation is that the school trip wasn't sanctioned by the education department.

But surely THE Minister is also accountable? You set policy you engage with dept of education... Accountability stops with You Sir

First criminals are members of sadtunational who were playing cards, instead of supervising kids, worse teachers ever

And those who run initiation schools / camps where how many die a year.... they in jail yet?!

Actually it is true justice to lay criminal charges to both the school and the camp...

Why are we still saying 'could'? It must be done. A young black childs life has been taken and we demand action.

GE MEC is to be blamed for this tragic childs death. Stop blaming everyone,

'Could be'?

As much as this is needed, but justice should never take sides.

10 infants died in Tembisa Hospital. What charges then

Agree. Same goes for pit toilets. Manholes been left open etc etc

This one is trying to be a hero.

Could? It’s a must they are pressed

They should remove that 'could' and put in 'will' cause action really should be taken.

'Could be' or 'Will be'?
