The Greater Gauteng Learner Transport Organisation GGLTO says it is investigating an incident captured in a widely shared video that shows a schoolgirl being beaten inside a minibus taxi, thrown out and ending up under it as it drove away.
Sibongile Maseko, general secretary of the organisation, confirmed to Sowetan that the incident allegedly took place on Friday in the Princess area at a scholar transport pick-up point known as Esibayeni, Roodepoort.
In the video circulating on social media, the girl is seen being repeatedly slapped inside a white minibus by a boy wearing casual clothes, saying she has nothing to do with him and he is thinking about her future, before she is dragged out and left on the road. The vehicle then drives off while the girl runs after it before collapsing on the ground. The minibus then appears to drive over her as she lies on the ground.
