The 13-year-old Parktown Boys High School pupil drowned in the Crocodile River in Brits last Wednesday - while at orientation camp.


Enoch and other boys in his group had been taking part in a water activity using a makeshift raft.


The raft capsized and Enoch was swept down the river. It's understood the boys weren't wearing life jackets.

Malema visited his family yesterday.


 "Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi and advocate senior councillor  are on standby, willing to intervene as family lawyers and you don't have to pay anything. " 


He says the advocates volunteered themselves and wanted to help.

"The Human Rights Commission can be there. they have all the right to be there. But the family has to have its own lawyers," says Malema.
