The body of Parktown Boys pupil, Enoch Mpianza was found on Friday more than a day after he disappeared from a school orientation camp.Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi had taken to his Twitter page on Friday to give updates on the search and rescue efforts. He said the rescue mission had been suspended on Thursday evening and resumed again on Friday. It was not immediately clear whether this meant the search for Mpianza only commenced on Thursday.
“These things happen and no one anticipates it to get this way. But how do they not regularly check the roll to ensure all the children are there? I mean, they were new to the environment and the school,” he added.Felicia Dlamini, whose child stayed behind at school, said if she could, she would take her child elsewhere. She said she regretted enrolling her 13-year-old son at the school.
“Every year the school is in the news for the wrong reasons. I’m shaking, this is bizarre. I can’t imagine what the parents are feeling,” Dlamini said.“I already had my own issues with the school but I feel like they are negligent. How do you miss a child and only notice the next day. Did they not mark the register? I find it very irresponsible.
“I would take my child elsewhere if I could. If you take your child to such an expensive school you think they would be a little bit safer. “A child goes missing today and only tomorrow you notice they are not there? Who’s lying here? Or they just didn’t care. If it’s happening in such places, where can we go then?”“I don’t have a choice but to keep him here. It’s January so it’s a struggle to switch,” Dlamini added.“We all want to know how it happened but it’s obviously easy to criticise after the fact. The safety of children is a big problem that needs to be resolved.
They are lying they are hiding the truth
Must be racists involved 😱😱😱Lesufi please come and check this out for racist elements being the cause of death
What killed him?
Ddnt he hav a friend..?a mate? ..surely sm1 shld hav noticed he was missing the moment they got out of the water..evn bus drivers alwys ask passengers to check on each other before the bus drives off so tht everybody is accounted for n nobody s left behind
Headcount Headcount Headcount Headcount Headcount All the Way!!! Or the 30% pass mark has dropped the ability for those in charge to count? Or what is it? Maths Literacy standards? This is very disturbing news & heads must roll! RIPEnockMpianzi ParktownBoysHigh Parktown
Imagine if a death at a circumsion camp got so much attention
So instead of forking out thousands for camps, worrying about your kid in transit to camp... Keep them busy for orientation by assisting at institutions who needs a coat of paint, food for food banks. Teach them humility in their communities
Nonesense
when the Sun city field trip also ended up in tragedy last year from Lethabong high school. A student drowned after two hours and only three teachers supervised no one cared, but because it is not a affluent school its all the media 😨😱😡😡😡
