The family of Avethandwa Nokhangela, 15, who drowned during an Equal Education (EE) leadership camp held at a resort outside East London last week, still have many unanswered questions about her death.

Avethandwa, who drowned on Thursday during a camp held at Palm Springs holiday resort, on Wednesday was remembered at a memorial service held at Xolani Senior Secondary School. 

The grade 10 pupil's aunt, Zanele Goda, said the family was devastated by her niece’s death.
