North West provincial commissioner, Lieutenant-General Sello Kwena has called for mobilisation of the 72-hour Activation Plan following the ruthless murder of Nxumalo.
The DA in North West said the fact that a teacher lost her life must raise the alarm at the lack of safety and security at all schools in the North West and the department of education must do a thorough assessment into how to improve the safety in and around schools
I would like to send a strong message to all operators transporting learners to school to be extra careful at all times whenever they are transporting learners in order to save lives,” she said.
The North West department of Community Safety and Transport Management on Wednesday, said the minibus taxi was travelling on the R34 road when it allegedly hit the barriers of the bridge and veered off the road.
The department said the taxi was providing non-contracted services that was an arrangement between the owner and parents to transport learners to school, and was not part of government learner transport service.
