Tshwane agrees to R700 000 claim over Soshanguve light death | Pretoria News

Pretoria - The City of Tshwane has agreed to pay R700 000 in damages to the family of Fanie Baloyi, who was 11 when he and four of his friends died when flood lights fell on them while playing in Soshanguve. However, the families of the other four children are still waiting.

Fanie’s mother Georgina Baloyi had instituted a claim against the City following his death two years ago. The City agreed last week to settle the matter, her lawyer Jean-Paull Rudd said. But according to Rudd, there was no news yet whether the City would also settle with the parents of the other children. All have different lawyers.

The claim instituted by the family of 9-year-old Maikano Mmenu was before the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, last month.
