The Mpumalanga MEC for Education, Bonakele Majuba has been scheduled to pay a visit to a secondary school on Thursday, after a teacher crashed a car into the staffroom injuring two assistant teachers and two students. Majuba is said to be visiting to get more and required information about what led to the ugly incident.

“The Mpumalanga department of education has learnt with shock about an accident which happened at Kopanang secondary school at Emalahleni local municipality on Wednesday, 10 November afternoon,” Zwane, Mpumalanga spokesperson said.

“According to the preliminary information which still needs to be verified, it looks like a teacher accidentally drove into the staff room thereafter injured two assistant teachers and two learners. The injured were rushed to the nearest hospital.”

Images shared by the Mpumalanga Department of education showed a Mercedes-Benz sedan that had seemingly rammed into a building, causing extensive damage.

Ambulances can also be seen on the school premises with paramedics attending to the injured.

In 2018, a 6-year-old Delft boy was saved by his 15-year-old cousin who managed to lift up a car under which the boy was trapped.

Little Tyler Link landed under the vehicle while playing in the street. A neighbour, driving a white Fiat Uno, had reversed from his driveway in Elsenburg Street, in Voorburg, when he accidentally drove over the boy, dragging him a few metres before coming to a stop.
