The Department of Basic Education has called for an investigation into the death of Eastern Cape learner Avethandwa Nokhangela, 15, who drowned at an Equal Education leadership camp outside East London on April 29.The provincial education department said concerned community members alerted it to the incident.
“The department in the province received information from the South African Police Services about the incident after the body of the learner was recovered from one of the Buffalo Metro beaches. The delay by Equal Education in reporting the matter to the provincial education department raises serious concerns.”
“A thorough investigation into the incident is required to ensure that all facts are established and that those found responsible must be held to account for the unnecessary loss of life,” the DBE said. “We are devastated by this loss of a daughter and sister, a comrade and friend, and a smart and bubbly young activist leader. We are heartbroken by the grief her family and friends are experiencing, as well as our members and staff.
