  • Student Drowns During Orientation At Potch

    During orientation at the North-West University (NWU) in Potchefstroom on Saturday night, a group of first-year students were told to “clean themselves in a swimming pool.” When they left, not a single one of the “conductors” in charge noticed the group had one less member. The body was only later found at the bottom of the pool when a different group of students went for a swim.

    Captain Tselane Nkala said the 19-year-old first year student was with 76 other students when he drowned on Saturday evening. He said the group had participated in a “fruit festival” before the time – hence having to wash themselves in a swimming pool afterwards.

    Professor Herman van Schalkwyk, rector of the Potchefstroom Campus, said the students who could not swim did not participate in the activity. “The deceased did take part in the swimming session. We concluded from this that the student could actually swim,” he said.

    Wow, is it really that easy?

    Thankfully police have opened an inquest docket as well.
