What was meant to be 13-year-old Bokamoso Mokhobos first day of high school yesterday turned to tragedy as the teenager died before getting to school when her scholar transport driver collided with a truck while trying to overtake other vehicles.
Bokamoso is one of the 13 schoolchildren from Vaal High School, Vaal Primary School, Suncrest High School, El-Shaddai Christian School, Hoerskool Vanderbijlpark and Oliver Lodge Primary School who died after the minibus taxi they were in crashed into an oncoming truck in Vanderbijlpark. Four other children are in hospital.
Bokamosos cousin, Lesedi Mokhobo, said the Sebokeng girl was filled with excitement as she prepared for her first day at high school.
