reported that Mpianzi did not have one as the school had requested that learners provide their own and his family could not afford to buy him one.
Mpianzi’s parents, who are refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo, reportedly borrowed R800 so their son could attend the school trip.reports that the unemployed refugees were not too worried about not being able to afford the life jacket as they had assumed the water activities would be taking place in a controlled environment and knew that their son knew how to swim as he had learnt to do so in a pool.
News24 previously reported that the Grade 8 group arrived at the lodge on Wednesday and took part in a water activity that involved building their own rafts, according to North West police spokesperson Colonel Adele Myburgh. The pupils were divided into groups of between five and six and took to the water on their self-built rafts. Some boys, among them Enoch, fell from their raft and scrambled to get back on to it.This was, however,while they were en route to their Grade 8 orientation camp.
According to Mpianzi’s family, this young boy was the first to raise the alarm that Enoch was missing after the boys had returned from the activity, but he was allegedly not paid heed.
This a tragedy indeed and condolences must to the family as they grieve their loss. So what Dwang Jones doing there? Surely this is a police matter!
Teaching a kid to swim is probably one of the biggest concerns raising a child. Being at a friends house or holiday. The parents should take blame for NOT taking precautions or necessary steps.
