Enock Mpianzi drowned during a school camp in the North West, while Letacia Jansen was found murdered after her scholar transport left her school earlier than expected. Both are to be buried tomorrow.
Johannesburg - The 13-year-old Parktown Boys High School pupil Enock Mpianzi, who drowned at a North West camp two weeks ago, will finally be laid to rest in Johannesburg on Saturday. Mpianzi tragically drowned at the Nyati Riverbreak and Resort during a Grade 8 camp on the first week of school.
The Department of Education in Gauteng released the official programme for Enock’s funeral, and it showed that Gauteng provincial Education Panyaza Lesufi would deliver a eulogy at the teens funeral, along with EFF national spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi. Enock's primary school teacher Miss Modipa-Xaba also gave a touching speech, reminding mourners that Enock was a quiet, loving and a bright maths pupil.
A representative from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Mpianzi was born, was also expected to deliver a eulogy along with friends and a number of representatives from Enock’s family. Letacia’s principal, Patricia Peters, has been placed on precautionary suspension and removed from the school. She is to report to the department’s district offices.
