“It seems the currents were quite strong, and the last time the boy was seen was when some of his friends saw the raft overturn and children fell into the water.”

"I'm told Enoch was a kind person. His mother said when she woke him up on the day of the trip, he told her he was not sleeping as he was excited to go on the trip," Lesufi said during a briefing on Friday at Parktown Boys' High School. Lesufi said he was not aware whether the"people who assisted the children or the children themselves had life jackets or were given safety guidance".The MEC said the community around the area was helpful with the search.

Enoch Mpianzi never got to wear the black and red Parktown Boys' uniformA relative of Parktown Boys' High pupil Enoch Mpianzi, who died during a school orientation camp on his first day of grade 8, shrieked and broke down in tears as she entered the school grounds on Friday. This was sad and tragic. Going to the river, building your own raft after the rain...🙈 & 200 + students. Reckless and poor planning. Many foreign kids drown all over the world every day. What makes this so newsworthy? Leave Parktown boys, look at the other incident where they grade 7 had drowned on Wednesday afternoon at the Magaliesburg primary school's hostel and why wasn't it only being made public late last night 😡😡😡😡😡

Body of missing Parktown Boys pupil foundEnoch Mpianzi had gone missing during a water activity as part of a school camp hosted by Parktown Boys' High. I need serious answers from PARKTOWN_BOYS. In 2018 alone 13 teachers were implicated in allegations of racism, physical assault, intimidation, bullying and an abusive intimidation culture. THEN the assistant water polo coach was charged on 144 counts of sexual assault. NOW THIS! So sorry to hear this MHDSRP condolences to family and friends
