Viwe was reported missing earlier, and her teachers called the police to the school in Bizana when they came across her body, said Captain Edith Mjoko.
She said they were investigating the death as part of an inquest.
"No foul play is suspected. The body is still with the police for a post-mortem."
Jali is understood to have been in Grade R.
'Incredibly disturbing'
Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga expressed her shock on Thursday upon hearing the news.
"The death of a child in such an undignified manner is completely unacceptable and incredibly disturbing," she said in a statement.
"I would like to send my sincere condolences to the family of our Viwe Jali, who passed away tragically on Tuesday. I cannot begin to know the trauma the parents are experiencing, it is truly a tragic incident and my sympathies are with them."

School children should be monitored when at school. We cannot blame the school for her death but from now on Schools should hire people for the children's safety. This scene made other children to be scared they should be monitored.

  1. Im unhappi for the occasion took place to Viwe. I would advise the school management to make sure that the toilets are in good state to be visited by very young learners because i believe if they are in poor condition they will be vulnurable to kids. Learners should be controlled on a daily basis.
