Gauteng MEC for education Matome Chiloane has called for increased vigilance from parents, schools and authorities following the deadly scholar transport crash in Vanderbijlpark.
Speaking at the deadly crash scene, Chiloane said the department has long advocated for stricter monitoring of learner transport, particularly by schools and parents.
I would rather have my children arrive at school late than never. I want to call for greater vigilance from parents, and schools also have a responsibility. They must look at the vehicles that are recommended to transport learners and keep a register of every vehicle that brings children to school, Chiloane said.
