A scholar transport vehicle bursting into flames, a bakkie crashing into a bus ferrying 109 pupils, 60 vehicles impounded and the driver behind the deadly Vaal crash charged with 14 murders.
These are the troubling incidents that defined this week as in one accident 14 learners were killed when a truck collided head-on with a scholar transport vehicle on the Golden Highway in Vanderbijlpark on the Vaal.
The accident on Monday has brought into sharp focus the safety of learners using scholar transport across the country, vehicle roadworthiness and drivers behaviour on the roads.
