Six Mpumalanga pupils laid to rest

MIDDELBURG - Stakeholders in the education and transport sectors, and families of six pupils who died in a crash in Middelburg, are calling for accountability. 

This was highlighted during the mass funeral service for the pupils of Morelig Combined School.

The Mpumalanga government says it's working on increasing the number of inspectors of scholar transport, and to scrutinise the policy governing such transport. 

The six pupils were buried in various cemeteries around Middelburg.

The 20 who sustained injuries are still recovering in hospital, as is the driver of the bus.
