Enock Mpianzi’s family would need to consider the complete forensic report into his death before they consent to its public release, its legal representatives told News24. Speaking to News24, lawyer Ian Levitt said Mpianzi’s relatives would first consult with the department and its lawyers to provide their input. He said the family would need to consider the report first before deciding whether to give their blessing.
“Indeed, after a consultation with the Mpianzi family, we find it to be insensitive to release the report without their blessings. Subsequent to our meeting today, we all agreed that the next session will be held on 27 February 2020,” said Lesufi.Mpianzi was swept away in the Crocodile River while attending a Grade 8 orientation camp at Nyati Bush and River Break lodge near Brits in North West on 15 January.
