Heinz Park Primary School teacher Thulani Manqoyi’s murder last week was not only felt by his biological children, but also the many pupils who looked up to him as a loving father figure.

“Besides helping us to be good in maths he taught us many good values by also teaching us the Bible every Monday.

“He was always there for us and we will always remember him and his words. He’s gone but will not be forgotten.”He was a Grade 6 maths teacher and had been teaching at the school since 2008.His 24-year-old son, Sikhanyiso, recalled how he would imitate his father's friends and call him “Counter”. “The name was created because he was so good with numbers. Today I see that because of who he was he gained many children. To me, he was my hero and taught me that family comes first. I will now look after my siblings,” he said.“He was senselessly killed inside the school premises. As the family, we don’t know how far the police are with the investigation but we urged them to leave no stone unturned ... We still believe this was planned and he was targeted.

“My brother was a great man, a peacemaker and a mediator in the family. He was a true leader and a proud born-again Christian.” The school's deputy principal recalled how Manqoyi was devoted to his job and shared ideas with colleagues on how to improve the school.
