Release of Enock Mpianzi drowning report postponed after meeting with family
20 February 2020
The Gauteng Education Department has postponed the release of the much-anticipated report into the death of Parktown Boys' High School Grade 8 pupil Enock Mpianzi.
The report, which was compiled by Harris NupenMolebatsi Attorneys, was meant to be released on Thursday evening. However, two hours before the release time, the department said it had consulted Mpianzi's family and found that it would 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 February, 27 2020," said Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi in a statement.
Lesufi said he had also consulted with Gauteng Premier David Makhura, who agreed that the release of the forensic report be rescheduled until "processes have been concluded".
