Parents demand answers after 12-year-old boy dies post-forced withdrawal from a Limpopo initiation school.
People are seeking answers from the Limpopo Provincial Initiation Coordinating Committee as to why a 12-year-old boy died in the custody of his parents, a day after he was forcefully removed from an initiation school in Bolobedu, which falls under the Greater Tzaneen and Letaba local municipalities.
“According to a report in my office, his family claimed there was a family ritual taking place at the house the following day and the boy was supposed to be part of it,” said Makamu.“We were baffled to receive the painful news that he had passed on – may his soul rest in eternal peace because the death of one child is one too many,” he said.“The school had the consent of the boy’s parents, who signed every document needed to be signed for his proper enrolment,” he said.
He said the law prohibited children from being abducted to the schools. He said abducting children was a criminal offence. All schools should have permits to operate and may only run their businesses during the normal school intervals, preferably during winter, he said
