A 5-year-old South African boy died at school; cause and circumstances remain under investigation amid conflicting accounts and public outcry.
A five-year-old South African boy, Manqoba Mnisi, died at Bernard Isaacs Primary School in Johannesburg on February 2, 2026, during a school function.
The school claims he fell in a toilet cubicle and died, but his family disputes this, citing injuries including blood around his mouth and a backward-bent head, and alleging he was left alone in a classroom.
Conflicting accounts, including claims he tried to escape through a window or was seen with a wire around his neck, have fueled community anger and protests.
The Gauteng Department of Education has appointed an independent law firm to investigate, with findings to be shared with the family.
An inquest is underway, and officials say no conclusions have been drawn.
