 Unlicensed taxi driver behind Impendle scholar crash arrested


A minibus taxi driver who fled the scene after a horrific scholar transport accident that left 20 learners injured in Impendle has been arrested.


KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport and Human Settlements, Siboniso Duma, confirmed on Tuesday that the driver had no driver’s licence, no Professional Driving Permit (PrDP), and was only in possession of a learner’s licence.


“The driver violated the National Land Transport Act by transporting learners without a PrDP. We want to remove from our road networks reckless drivers who are behind the spike of private scholar transport accidents and many other accidents that have destroyed families and cut short the lives of innocent people,” Duma said.


The driver allegedly lost control of his unroadworthy minibus taxi before it plunged off KwaKhetha Bridge on P127 on Monday morning. About 20 learners sustained injuries, with some treated and discharged, while others remain under medical care.


Duma said the Road Traffic Inspectorate would intensify operations in collaboration with Impendle Local Municipality and other traffic departments to clamp down on unroadworthy taxis and illegal operators.


He also announced that his department is partnering with the Vehicle Testing Association (VTA) to root out vehicles without valid roadworthy certificates and to clamp down on fraudulent issuing of certificates.


“As we count down to October, which is Transport Month, we will announce our collaboration with the VTA to strengthen legislation governing the taxi and scholar transport industry, enforce stricter compliance, and require biannual certificates of roadworthiness for all heavy passenger vehicles,” Duma added.


KwaZulu-Natal MECs for Health and Education, Nomagugu Simelane and Sipho Hlomuka, together with local government leaders, have joined Duma in responding to the Impendle tragedy.
