READ IN FULL | School statement on death of Parktown Boys' High pupilParktown Boys' High School issued a statement on Friday evening about the death of a grade 8 pupil during a school orientation camp. Someone definitely knows what happened here. There’s no way not even one person saw this boy or what happened to him. They were there as a group. My concern is with the venue that hosted the team building. Were the boys not wearing life jackets? Some of these places don’t have adequate safety equipment and they don’t say no to money.
