“I was advised to shave my head to dispel the bad spell the department is going through.'
On Monday morning, two girls, aged six and 10, were killed when the minibus taxi they were travelling in was involved in an accident in the Olifantsfontein area. Seventeen other pupils were injured and taken to hospital.
Their deaths brought to 14 the number of pupils from the province who have died in tragic incidents since the beginning of the year. They include Enock Mpianzi, a Parktown Boys' High School pupil who died on the first day of school at a grade 8 orientation camp. On Sunday, Kelebogile Molopyane, a grade 10 pupil who fell to his death from the second-floor balcony of Ferndale High School last Monday after a seizure, was laid to rest.
During Molopyane's memorial service on Friday, Lesufi said the deaths of these pupils had taken an emotional toll on him.
