Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane is deeply saddened by the tragic passing of two Grade 5 boy learners from Dan Radebe Primary School in Duduza, Ekurhuleni.
The two learners, who were close friends and in the same class, are suspected to have drowned after their bodies were discovered in a water pond on Friday, 20 June 2025.
It is alleged that the learners were reported missing on Thursday, 19 June 2025. Subsequently, their bodies were found during a search mission by Emergency Services in a water pond that was reportedly formed by excavations at a nearby construction site, in Duduza. According to the community; this large, rain-filled pit, unsecured and unmarked, has become a hazardous attraction for informal swimming to children in the area.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) is investigating circumstances surrounding this incident.
The GDE’s Psycho-Social Support Unit has been dispatched to Dan Radebe Primary School to provide trauma counselling and support to the affected learners, educators, and families.
“This is a heartbreaking incident. Losing young lives in this manner is devastating not only for the families, but for the school community and the province as a whole. Our sincerest condolences go out to the parents, teachers, classmates, and friends of these learners,” said MEC Chiloane.
