JOHANNESBURG - Gauteng Education Department officials will today visit the Daveyton Skills School in Benoni after two of its pupils drowned during a discipline camp near the Hennops River in Centurion.
The department's Steve Mabona says the school will have to account for the deaths.
"Its quite early now because we are visiting the school today as officials just to get to understand what happened before we take decisions. There must be accountability. The school needs to account, we need to know what happened," he said.
