Constable Consolation Mokoale said Itumeleng Mojafi died on Monday as the leader of the school was about to take him to hospital.
He visited the parents on the same day to convey the news. The cause of the boy's death was not immediately clear.
"We don't know whether he was cold or was beaten. He died when the leader came to take him with a car to hospital, as he was sick," Mokaole said.
Mokoale said the parents had no idea that their son was at the initiation school, as he was last seen on June 17.
"They thought he was visiting his grandmother."
Investigations are continuing, and an inquest has been opened.

Why did the Leader not inform the Parents as soon as they registered the boy? That is what they do, so that the boy can get visitations and food from brothersReport Abuse

This is bad mara it's about time they learn lessons out of this di-teenager tse. There was nothing wrong if ne a entse his family aware gore o lo titimela (South Sotho ppl will understand) in case they don't give approval to his interest, this would have given them an idea of his whereabouts from the onset.@Papage - tru dat & ga go na anything e kgatlhisang about these pictures - all I see ke bo OLD FASHIONED fela nxa.
