Gauteng MEC Panyaza Lesufi presents an investigation report to the family of Keamohetswe Seboko, who drowned in Laerskool Bekker on January 15.
An independent report on the drowning of Keamohetswe Shaun Seboko, 13, contained the finding that the educators supervising the boy and his schoolmates were negligent.
Seboko drowned at Bekker Elementary School during a swimming activity.
Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi delivered the report to Seboko’s family on Friday at their home in Eldorado Park.
The report also contained the finding that, according to the evidence received, the boy drowned to death and there was no dirty act.

Lesufi said the report was compiled by an independent law firm and was ready around March, but could not be released due to the national Covid-19 shutdown.
“They (the law firm) feel that based on the evidence they have, they still feel that it was drowning. They could not find any act, whether it be intimidation, murder or anyone responsible,” the MEC said. .
Seboko died the same day Parktown Boys’ High student Enock Mpianzi was washed away by the Crocodile River during a school camp at Nyati Bush and River Break Lodge in the northwest.
