PLEASE NOTE: The images published in full below are disturbing and could be triggering.
These are "live photos" of David Mackenzie, Thomas Kruger and some other boys. The pictures are believed to have been taken in Mackenzie’s flat in Espin House at St Andrew's College in Makhanda.
A "live photo" is really a short piece of video, because an iPhone takes a second’s footage before and after a picture is taken.
These images feature in episode 3 of the My Only Story podcast's second season.

Thank you for sharing this with the world. I will do my part to share it far and wide! You don't know me, but I talk a LOT... and what my heart is full of my mouth overflows! My heart is full of hurt, disgust, disgrace, empathy and concern for our children.
Like everyone, I am SHOCKED at how "misconduct" is the blanket that covers up molestation and abuse... shocked by the men and women who cover it up... make it the next person's problem.
I find it interesting, yet not alarming, that the first school to say "NO!" to "resignation with immediate effect" in an attempt to run away from this disgusting (and lets be honest, TRUE) allegation of…
Good luck Charl and the rest of Tom’s family. My heart goes out to you guys. I sincerely hope that this brilliant investigation and podcast have brought some form of closure. Strongs guys.
This is disturbing.
And the fact that Tom allegedly committed suicide by the window facing the poolside.
Clear evidence of how these adolescents were lured manipulated and being degraded and abused by David.
I hope more information is going to surface which will bring a clearer picture , if more of the victims speak up especially those closer to Tom we might have a better understanding.
God bless the Kruger family
Wow you can clearly hear David saying "Let's go fuck now". Absolutely shocking, my heart goes out for Tom's parents.
What gets me so furious is that these schools always call themselves "transparent". The other thing is should such a non transparent school be forced to close down, 100's more will pipe up with more pedophilic twats masquerading as teachers. Bloody disgusting.
