Family wants Nyathi Bush Campsite to be shut down

Mellony Sias also drowned during a school camp at the same lodge which recently claimed the life of Parktown Boys’ High pupil,Sias was a grade 12 pupil at Adamantia High School in Kimberley at the time of her death. She was there for her school’s hockey camp.“I feel for that family because I know what they are going through. It is a pain you can never forget. When you allow your child to go on a school tour, you expect them to return alive and it is very sad when they return a lifeless body.

Pictures of Sias playing hockey at the bush campsite are all the family has of her final moments alive. The family last saw her on a Thursday in April 2010, only to receive news on a Sunday that she had drowned on Saturday.“They said that she slipped. They were in the river I think and then she slipped so the water just flowed away with her. Somebody jumped in looking for her and then they gave up because they couldn’t find her and then she was found by a farmer and his wife.

Sias did not have a life jacket when she and other pupils were swimming in the river. Instead, she was on a float tube.“Nyati is a very dangerous place. It is a deadly place because our children are dying there and we cannot allow Nyati to continue operating because our children die there and the owners do nothing about it.”

Although their daughter will never come back, this family still seeks justice after no one was held accountable for her death.

That won’t fix the problem that is the teachers and senior pupils and headmaster’s inability to take safety precautions nor do accurate roll call of the students before they left for the trip and at regular intervals. Treating the symptom and not the cause doesn’t help.
