Police spokesperson Brig Motlafela Mojapelo said the female pupils were allegedly hitchhiking next to a filling station when they were given a lift.
“It rolled several times, instantly killing the five learners and critically injuring the driver and his crew. The injured were taken to hospital,” Mojapelo said.Education MEC Polly Boshielo expressed her deepest sorrow and devastation after hearing about the accident.
How fast do you have to drive to 'lose control' of your vehicle that it rolls and kills 5? Also why overload your bakkie, with passengers in the open back which is against the law? Where is the sense of responsibility? Hope he gets charged with culpible homicide. Condolences.
Omw..my codolences to famly..so tragic
💔
Eish! That road is telling. If school kids don't get a lift, do they have to walk that road? Kgomo ya moshate. I hope this accident will propel the powers that be to ensure that school kids on this road will never ever again have to hitchhike, but have proper save transport.
Painful, may the Lord be with their families
I gave a lift to 4 students a few weeks back and as I was driving, I realized that my car does not respond the same way when I am driving with 1 or 2 passengers in it, controlling it was troublesome, I fully understand what could have happened here. May they RIP.
