It is alleged that the driver of a bakkie coming from the direction of Embhuleni lost control of his vehicle and collided with the Shibas’ vehicle, coming from the opposite direction.

Shabalala called for more support to be given to the affected family, saying losing one family member is painful and losing several relatives in one incident is too much for any family to deal with.
“This tragedy and many others should propel all of us to become real ambassadors of road safety. This, road users should do by using the road safely, obeying the rules and reporting any reckless driving that they see,” she concludes. The police are investigating a case of culpable homicide.
