Lesufi says people assisted with an aircraft and drones in the search for the missing learner Mpianzi, whose body was found in a river at Inyathi Lodge near Brits in North West.“There was a light aircraft organised. I don’t know who organised it because it was not coming from the police. The owner of that aircraft started to search the fields with people that brought their own drones. We had to go brief the family and it was one of the most difficult exercises.
Gauteng Education spokesperson Steve Mabona says Parktown Boys’ High School has denied speculation that the death of Mpianzi may have been a result of an initiation gone wrong. Mabona says initiations are not allowed at schools due to the abuse associated with such activities. He says the school assured the department that activities at the camp were purely orientation based.
