Lesufi after visiting school where Grade 10 pupil died: 'We can't lose pupils the way we are'
12 February 2020
An emotional Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi says he has run out of words to comfort bereaved schools and families.
The latest death of Grade 10 pupil Kelebogile Reuben Molopyane brings the total reported pupil deaths in the province to twelve since the start of the academic year last month.
What's more, four teachers have died in the province since the new school year got under way.
Lesufi addressed the media near Ferndale High School in Randburg, Johannesburg, where Molopyane fell from the third floor following an epileptic seizure on Tuesday.
