Deon Slabbert
Main Pic

Deon was burned in the Western Cape in August 2006. He had been given a detention punishment in school for not doing his homework on time. He was told to clean paint off the floor with turpentine.

Someone else allegedly threw a match into the room and Deon was badly burned on his face, hands and feet.

The school surely has public liability insurance but has not assisted with Deon’s medical bills.

Allegedly a “without prejudice” offer of R30000 was made but without admitting liability.

That would barely cover one operation.

Deon is a reserve for the Children of Fire June 2007 Kilimanjaro climb, depending on the health and visas of two other boys being considered for the expedition.
