Her death sparked public outrage after some teachers alleged the school asked them to remain tight-lipped over the accident.

A law firm was appointed to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death.

"The MEC will be sharing this report with the Temilton family, the school management team, and school governing body. We will then be in a position to share the findings with the public," said department spokesperson Steve Mabona.
