DEAD CHILDREN WERE A “PREDICTABLE OUTCOME.” A SHOCKING NEW REPORT SAYS OUR GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED.
Just THREE DAYS before a minibus crash KILLED 12 students in Gauteng, police made another stomach-churning find in Nelson Mandela Bay. Officers caught a minibus taxi packed with 40 children — over TWICE the legal limit. This wasn’t a mistake. The driver, with an EXPIRED permit, tried to flee, nearly hitting a cop before he was arrested. He was released on a simple warning. Days later, 12 other children were dead.
Now, photos from the deadly Gauteng crash hit like a punch to the gut, showing grieving parents at the wreckage. Transport Minister Barbara Creecy promises a “zero tolerance” crackdown and a new policy. But experts are SLAMMING the excuses.
A bombshell human rights report exposes a systemic pattern: children are routinely crammed into DEATHTRAP vehicles that break down constantly. Researcher Dr. Siyabulela Fobosi says he’s heartbroken, but not surprised. “Learners are still walking the same paths I walked 20 years ago,” he said, blasting the government’s inaction.
“This crash has rattled me,” Fobosi states. He calls it lawlessness, not an accident. Officials are silent on the most obvious question: WHY are drivers with expired permits and overloaded vans still on the road AFTER children are already dead?
This is a national crisis playing out in plain sight. While bureaucrats review policies and promise future action, children are being loaded into rolling coffins every single morning. Parents are told to report the danger, yet drivers face only warnings. The rules don’t matter because no one in power is making them matter.
THEY KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN. AND THEY LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.
