The Economic Freedom Fighters on Tuesday called for the suspension of the academic staff and school governing bodymembers who were present during an orientation camp which claimed the life of Parktown Boys' High pupil Enoch Mpianzi. “We demand justice for the innocent child,” “Police arrest the SGB”, “We demand the suspension of all teachers involved,” read some placards when EFF members picketed outside the school on Tuesday.

Mpianzi went missing during an orientation camp at Nyathi Bush and Riverbreak Lodge in North West last week. His body was later recovered in the Crocodile River after a homemade raft he and other pupils made overturned in strong currents. Nonhlanhla Radebe, who joined the protest outside the school, said: “We are here not only as members of the EFF but as members of the community, parents with children at this school. We are calling for them to be suspended until investigations are concluded,” she said.

Members of the EFF are holding a picket outside Parktown Boys's High. They are calling for the suspension of teachers, principal and SGB members following the death of Enoch Mpianzi.

Who still listen to EFF?

As parent I can not help but vent . Why was information withheld ? Why did the teachers relax ,even though they realized one student missing? This is very strange ....

The EFF would never say this for the regular deaths that happen at the Transkei circumsion camps

What a beautiful child, this is so sad.
