“In effect, the only list which was reasonably accurate of those that attended the camp was not at the camp.”
The carelessness of the teachers who went to the initiation camp with the grade 8 pupils from Parktown Boys’ High School in Johannesburg resulted in them leaving the crucial list on the bus, a forensic report has found.
As a result, it took 18 hours for the teachers to realise that the boy was not left behind at school or among the group of pupils who themselves were still strangers to one another, but that he was probably already dead. There was an unnecessary delay of 18 hours before it was discovered that Enock Mpianzi was missing, a forensic report has found.Only after the water exercise at the river on that Wednesday afternoon did the teachers request a master list from the school.
At the top of this list it states, “Incoming Grade 8” and in handwriting “Wednesday 15/1 roll call ”.
