Emotional tributes at memorial for slain Heinz Park teacher

A memorial service was held for Manqoyi at the school on Tuesday where pupils and staff shared their tributes.

Former principals, education department representatives and the South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) joined to support his family members in attendance.

Another learner, who was overwhelmed by emotion, recalled how Manqoyi would give pupils money when they did not have food.

“Besides helping us to be good in Maths he taught us many good values by also teaching us the Bible every Monday"

“He was always there for us and we will always remember him and his words. He’s gone but will not be forgotten.”

Manqoyi was shot dead on September 21 while sitting in his car in the school parking lot.
