Bafana Sithole (17) was found lifeless in one of the classrooms last week.

He’d been stripped of his school honours after being accused of rape.

His family says the school’s handling of the matter directly led to their son taking his own life.

They are taking legal action against the school and the province’s education department.

The Mpumalanga Education Department has launched a probe into the matter.
