Two staff members who are certified first aiders at a private school where a six-year-old girl died after choking on a grape claim they could not help her because one did not have gloves while another said her certificate had expired.

This is according to a document written by an official from the Gauteng department of education, who conducted a preliminary investigation into the events that led to the death of Amkelekile Mokoena on January 24 at MEL International Private School in Germiston, Gauteng. ..
