Social Media is on a frenzy, as the public reacts to the eyewitness’s side of the story
Another reminder of the extent to which #ParktownBoysCamp REFUSES to be honest and take accountability for the death of #EnochMpianzi. It's an absolute travesty of justice. The details below are heartbreaking – to say the least. https://t.co/JnqAaZct6V
