Abafundi besikolo abalishumi elinesithathu basweleke kwingozi yemoto eMzantsi Afrika emva kokuba i-minibus ababehamba ngayo ingqubane nelori eVanderbijlpark, emazantsi esixeko saseRhawutini.
Igunya lemfundo lendawo lithe le ngozi yenzeke ngoMvulo kusasa malunga nentsimbi ye-07:00 . Abafundi abalishumi elinanye babhubhele kwindawo yengozi, logama ababini basweleke kamva ngenxa yokonzakala okukhulu. Abanye abafundi ababini basahleli kwimeko embi kakhulu esibhedlele.
Isithethi samapolisa uMavela Masondo sithe umqhubi we-minibus ungqubane nelori emva kokuzama ukudlula ezinye iimoto ezimbini. UMasondo uthe ityala lokubulala ngokungakhathali (culpable homicide) liza kuvulwa.
ISebe leMfundo laseGauteng lithe umqhubi we-minibus kuthiwa uyanyangwa esibhedlele, ngelixa iinkcukacha malunga nomqhubi welori zingekaqinisekiswa.
Iingozi zendlela ezibulalayo zixhaphake eMzantsi Afrika, zixhaswa zizinto ezifana nesantya esigqithisileyo, ukuqhuba ngokungakhathali kunye neemoto ezingagcinwanga kakuhle. Kunyaka ka-2025, abantu abayi-11,418 basweleke kwiingozi zeendlela, nto leyo ephantsi nge-6% xa ithelekiswa nonyaka ongaphambili, kodwa isalingana nomndilili wokufa kwabantu abangama-31 ngosuku.
UMongameli uCyril Ramaphosa uyichaze le ngozi njengento “ebuhlungu kakhulu”. Uthe abantwana zezona zixhobo zixabisekileyo zesizwe, waze wagxininisa ukuba kufuneka kuthotyelwe imithetho yendlela kwakunye nokuqinisekisa umgangatho wabathuthi babafundi ukuze kukhuselwe abafundi.
