#ParktownBoysCamp Isabel Venter Instructions on how to build a raft: 1)It must look like a stretcher, big enough for one person 2) The other team members should hang off the sides 3) All lashings are to be done using your shoe laces 4) don’t worry about life jackets!
#ParktownBoysCamp Isabel Venter Wednesday the 15th of January 2020 Boy #1 “Sir, Enoch’s missing” Boy # 2 “Mr Williams Enoch is really missing!”
Panyaza Lesufi To the masters of PBHS to the Headmaster of PHBS - each of you should think deeply of the definition of gross negligence - you call it a tragedy but to society it’s looking more and more like gross negligence
#ParktownBoysCamp Parktown Boys' High School Panyaza Lesufi So the Code of Silence starts too crumble: The Bare Bones Part 1 - Wed 15/1 arrive eat lunch and start the raft building activity 16 teams of boys build rafts with logs and bamboo & shoelaces. They launch their rafts into still water.
#ParktownBoysCamp Parktown Boys' High School Panyaza Lesufi The Bare Bones Part 2 Wed 15/1 We launch into the water, boys are pushing rafts to get them going. Around the corner, where the river turns all hell breaks loose. The river is deep & the current strong. It is flowing fast & we lose control
#ParktownBoysCamp Parktown Boys' High School Panyaza Lesufi The Bare Bones Part 3 Wed 15/1 In the absolute chaos of rafts capsizing and boys drowning some scramble to a little island and some scramble to the river bank. Sadly this is not the case for everyone, many other boys cannot get to safety
#ParktownBoysCamp Parktown Boys' High School Panyaza Lesufi The Bare Bones Part 10 Thurs 16/1 - Back at camp. They do roll again. We tell them again that Enock is missing. Thursday night feels like the army, prefects are screaming at us & making us do push-ups because some boys are too slow to obey
#ParktownBoysCamp Parktown Boys' High School Panyaza Lesufi The Bare Bones Part 11 Fri 17/11 Camp ends, we pile onto busses and go back to school. At school they tell us Enock is dead but we actually told them he was missing on Wednesday and Thursday. There are counselors waiting, our parents too
#ParktownBoysCamp Parktown Boys' High School Panyaza Lesufi The Bare Bones Part 12 Fri 17/2 Boys are so distressed, many are crying, our friend that couldn’t save Enock is in a very bad space. We feel broken, we are broken, our mate is dead. The end.
#ParktownBoysCamp Panyaza Lesufi Eusebius McKaiser To every follower, for every tweet and retweet, we are so emotional for the important work that you are doing by taking up the cudgels of this fight! Thank-you from the very bottom of our hearts. RIP little one your death won’t be in vain!
