Screams alerted teachers to pupil's fatal plunge at Ferndale High School

“They knew those screams were not ordinary screams of learners playing. This was unique. The teachers heard screams from the learners, but the principal was also around,” said Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi.Kelebogile Reuben Malopyane, a grade 10 pupil, had seemingly jumped off the school's second-floor balcony. He had reportedly been sick and had been absent from school the previous day.

Malopyane is one of 12 Gauteng pupils who have lost their lives since the start of the 2020 academic year. “We are counting body bags instead of counting mathematics,” said Lesufi, who visited the school on Wednesday, where he received a report on what had transpired.

Condolences to the family. Please parents if you child is epileptic first tell the school and second tell his friends. If someone has a seizure first thing is turn them on their sides.
