Gauteng Education Transport Services has confirmed that it previously heard driver that killed 14 Vaal pupils was a reckless driver. The Gauteng Education Transport Services (GETS) has confirmed that Ayanda Dludla, the 22-year-old scholar transport driver accused of killing14 pupils in Vanderbijlpark, was operating a minibus under the association and that it had previously received complaints about his alleged reckless driving. GETS chairperson Matthews Mokhachane made the revelations outside the Vanderbijlpark Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, where Dludla made his first court appearance.
Dludla faces 14 counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder following Monday’s crash involving a scholar transport vehicle and a truck. He has abandoned his bail application and is expected to return to court on 5 March. Mokhachane said the association would not interfere with the legal process.
“We don’t stand for anything. We don’t defend. We are saying let the law take its course,” he said.
