Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture executive director Sanet Steenkamp on Tuesday updated the public on progress made in the recovery of O’Linn Nauyoma’s remains.
His body was retrieved on Tuesday morning.
Nauyoma, who was a pupil at Etosha Secondary School in the Oshikoto region, drowned at Lake Guinas on 8 September last year during a school tour.
“Since the unfortunate event, the ministry, with other key ministries, has been fully engaged in supporting the family until the recovery,” Steenkamp said.
She said the ministry has also pledged financial support to a local diving company to help with the search for the body.
“The ministry further extends its condolences to the bereaved family. We will continue to support them,” Steenkamp said.
She commended the police for their efforts and support.
