Western Cape Education MEC Debbie Schafer on Friday she was deeply distressed following a minibus taxi accident involving school children.
It’s still not clear what caused Friday morning’s crash outside Parliament in Cape Town’s CBD.
The taxi was transporting 21 learners and there were two adults in the vehicle.
Schafer said the learners – between the ages of six and 14 – were reportedly from 12 different schools largely within the City Bowl and Walmer Estate areas.
Their injuries range from serious to minor.
Schafer said they’d been advised the driver may not have had a driver’s or operating license, while the vehicle was also apparently unlicensed.
She said some of the principals were on scene and accompanied learners to the hospital while parents were being notified.
