21 January 2020
SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) officials encountered a locked gate at Nyati Bush and Riverbreak Lodge near Brits in the North West on Tuesday when it arrived to conduct an inspection of the scene where 13-year-old Enoch Mpianzi died.
Mpianzi drowned while taking part in a Parktown Boys' High School Grade 8 orientation camp last week.
He went missing on Wednesday when a raft he was on overturned in the Crocodile River. His body was discovered on Friday.
The SAHRC's Buang Jones said the SAHRC stepped in to assist the boy's family, pointing out that there were many unanswered questions about the circumstances of the boy's death.
