An
overloaded minibus taxi carrying 22 school pupils, most of whom primary school
children, crashed into a bollard in front of Parliament on Friday after
allegedly skipping a red robot.
The accident has resulted in the death of one learner and several injuries.
The presiding officers of parliament expressed shock and sadness and have called for a swift investigation into the accident by all the appropriate authorities.
“Our thoughts and prayers are also with the injured pupils for their speedy recovery,” they said in a statement.
“We call upon the traffic authorities to investigate the circumstances of the accident and leave no stone unturned to ensure the safety of our children.”
