“It is very clear the bus was being driven by the pupil. Obviously, she does not have a code 14 licence. We can’t proceed with a person who is playing with peoples’ lives. The Eastern Cape education department has now cancelled its contract with the operator, and alternative transport arrangements for the students are being made.”
