Gauteng Department of Education's Panyaza Lesufi says they received a letter form Enock's family demanding R10 million.

Johannesburg - The family of Enock Mpianzi, 13, a Grade 8 pupil from Parktown Boys High who drowned while on a school outing at the beginning of the year, is suing the Gauteng Department of Education for R10 million.

Enock drowned on January 15 during a water activity organised by the school at the Nyati Bush and Riverbreak in Brits. A report into investigations conducted into his drowning revealed, among others, that Malcolm Williams, the principal, had neglected to take the necessary steps to ascertain exactly who was at the camp and arising therefrom, if any learner was missing after the water activity that claimed Enock's life.

Nyati Bush and Riverbreak were also blasted for involving the learners in potentially hazardous exercises without knowing who was taking part.

Demanding ...🤔🤔🤔🤔

It'd be the taxpayers footing that bill.

I thought the Mpanzi boy was in a Boy's Private School. Looking forward to a quick response of the department

The department never fired the principal, they have reinstated him back from the school...it's nonsense it shows we do not have justice around...the family has to be compensated.

The department should just settle this out of court and stop dragging the depressed family through courts. BlackLivesMatterSA
