Micheal Komape’s case dismissed

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The High Court in Polokwane has dismissed a R3 million claim by the family of deceased learner Michael Komape. The five-year-old died in a pit toilet at Mahlodumela Primary School in 2014.

The family brought the claim for grief and constitutional damages.

However, the court has ordered the Basic Education Department to pay a total of R12 000 towards future psychological treatment for two of the Komape’s younger children.

Judge Gerrit Muller has also ordered the department to provide the court with a plan on school sanitation in Limpopo by the end of July.
