It is alleged that Lerato had an argument with her classmate who resides opposite her home in Thokoza Extension 2. Apparently, the deceased was sitting on a chair in the classroom and her classmate pushed the chair from behind, causing Lerato to fall. She then lost consciousness, after which first aid was done and she was taken to the sick room. The paramedics were called and they certified her dead. Thembela Malekutu, the uncle of the deceased, said, “I was called while at work that there was a problem at my niece’s school. On arrival at the school, l found her lying; l checked her - she was cold. The school management told me that she fell. I was wondering what happened as she was healthy and did not tell us of anything that was affecting her.” “The police officer who was on the scene told me another story that my niece had an argument with a classmate who later pushed her, and she fell. The other classmates told me that there were just pupils alone in the class when Lerato and another classmate had an argument. They said Lerato went to report to the teacher about the dispute between her and the classmate and the teacher did not arrive to address the situation,” said Malekutu. He said the classmates told her that the teachers arrived when they were told that Lerato had fallen and was unconscious. “We need to know what really happened. The school told us that she fell and the police officer said she had an argument with a classmate. The classmate told us a different story - that she asked for help, but the teachers were unwilling. Lerato had one false tooth, but when we checked her teeth the false one was out. The evidence was tampered with. We want to know whether they took her to the sick room while she was alive or dead,” said Malekutu. Lerato’s father John Khambule, who was unable to hold back his tears, said, “I want to know what happened to my daughter. The post- mortem has revealed that it was an unnatural death and the incident is being investigated. I want justice to take its course.” Gauteng Department of Education’s spokesperson Phumla Sekhonyane said they are deeply saddened by the passing away of a learner at Eden Park Secondary School. She said at this stage the Department cannot confirm what led to the death of the learner and has launched an independent investigation into the matter. Lerato’s memorial service was held yesterday at Eden Park High School and she will be laid to rest on Saturday at Kromville cemetery.

He then performed a special prayer to bless me, then gave me the FREEsuper magic ring & money wallet for lotto & casino games;
I wish I knew about Akeem long before, I could not have lived such a miserable life.
