Nine-year-old boy survives being hit by a taxi
The boy sustained head and body injuries.
UPDATE- 14:30 pm, 15 September
According to Portia LadyLuck Radebe who claims to be a friend of mother of the nine year old, they are refuting claims that the boy went of his own accord to buy the vetkoek.
Rather they allege that the boy was sent by the driver to the shop.
The Standerton Advertiser is therefore affording the mother, the chance to tell their side of the story.
