SAHRC, Mpianzi family jump gate to access campsite via SABCNewsOnline

and the family of Enoch Mpianzi, have jumped over the main gate of the Nyati Bush campsite to gain access to it.. Thirteen-year-old Mpianzi drowned in the Crocodile River at the campsite last week.

The Parktown Boys’ High School learner was attending a grade 8 orientation camp at the facility when he was swept away by the river. SAHRC Gauteng Manager, Buang Jones, says they want the police to issue a warrant of arrest for the owner. “The owner has not granted us access, the gate is still locked. We are told by the manager that the owner is consulting her lawyers. We have asked the SAPS to consider issuing a warrant of arrest because they have obstructed and interfered with our lawful investigations as a Chapter 9 body. The conduct of the owner amounts to a criminal offense from the proper reading of our act,” says Jones.

We respect the grieving family but they shouldn't allow themselves to be manipulated by fame seeking individuals. There are laws in this country which can be applied to access information & enter properties, not by breaking the law. The family should take the issue with the schl.

Enoch Mpianzi's family, SAHRC barred from Brits campsiteSAHRC is in contact with the South African Police Service for assistance. Probably the camp's lawyers making their voice known. Something isn't adding up AND if there wasn't something to hide the parents would be allowed on-site, but thats just me. Once again BuangJones takes the spotlight away from EnockMpianzi's family. Has SAHRCommission visited any of the InitiationSchool DeathCamps, where young males making the transition from boys to men end up dead, after undergoing otched circumcision's? Clearly neither the SAHRC nor Jones learned any lessons last year. I see he's no longer 'acting Legal head'.......

SAHRC offers legal assistance to families of learners who drowned - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.The South African Human Rights Commission (HRC) has offered legal assistance to the families of 13-year-old Enock Mpianzi and 13 year old Keamohetswe Shaun Seboko. At least now you know why you where established from the very beginning Where were they during Michael Kopano's frustrated case with the state?. I will seriously take the SAHRCommission the day they stop using their emotions and start using their intelligence. Their selective approach to human rights is the only reason that has tainted them.
