THE Limpopo Education MEC Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya has dispatched social workers to the Mpirwabirwa Secondary School in Mokopane following the death of a Grade 12 learner.
Spokesperson Mike Maringa said the team will offer psycho-social support to the pupils and staff at the school after a fight during a school camp resulted in the death of Willem Ngoepe.
Lerule-Ramakhanya has since sent a message of condolences to the Ngoepe family following the sudden death of their son.
Maringa said Ngoepe died on Friday after he was allegedly hit on the head with an object by another learner at the matric school camp in the school premises.
“The incident happened at Mpirwabirwa Secondary School on Thursday evening and the learner succumbed to injuries the following day,” he said.
The matter has been reported to police.
