I confirm to have received a report of an unfortunate road accident which happened on Monday at 56km peg along Plumtree-Mphonegs road, where three people died including a student aged 14.
Nine others were injured when a Nissan pick-up they were travelling hit a pothole in the middle of the road and its rear left tyre burst and the vehicle’s axle broke.
It went on to hit another pothole and veered off the road before overturning twice leading to two people dying on the spot and another on admission at Tshitshi Clinic.
The police officer, Constable Peter Muzulu, allegedly sexually the pupils while conducting an investigation into sexual abuse at the school in March.
He reportedly fondled and inserted his finger into private parts of the female pupils.
Muzulu is facing aggravated indecent assault charges.
