The family of Parktown Boys pupil, Enock Mpianzi, on Monday, said they could not celebrate until those responsible for his death face the full might of the law.
This come after the school’s principal, Malcom Williams, was fired.
The 14-year-old drowned at a school orientation camp in January, at the Nyathi Bush and River Break Resort in Brits.
An investigation by the Gauteng Education Department found Williams guilty of taking pupils on the trip without prior approval from the department.
He was also found guilty of failing to ensure a correct roll call for all pupils who went on the excursion.
Mpianzi’s uncle, Sebastian Kodiemoka, described the decision by the Gauteng Education Department to fire Williams as “a nice approach” but said they cannot celebrate just yet.
He says the department acted in the only way that it could.
“They are a unit of the department so if the department did something wrong, they would have to manage it. For us, it’s not enough. They’re just expecting people to continue with their lives.”
The National Prosecuting Authority is in possession of a docket into Mpianzi’s death and despite a forensic probe finding that some of the teachers and the resort be held liable, a decision to prosecute has not yet been made.
