Bail Granted for Learner Driver in Tragedy | Johannesburg News

A 23-year-old scholar transport driver, Ayanda Dludla, has been granted bail after a horrific crash that killed 14 learners and injured 3 others—charges include 14 counts of murder and 3 attempted murders. Though the prosecution wanted him jailed, the court imposed strict conditions: weekly police check-ins, a driving ban until trial, mandatory stay at his mother’s home, and no contact with witnesses—including any apologies to grieving families, which must be approved by investigators. His trial is set for November 2026, sparking nationwide outrage and a long wait for justice. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
