Taung- Fourteen learners were rushed to Taung hospital after their transport collided with another taxi early this morning.

The learners are from Taung and were heading to Voorspoed Primary school in Magogong in the Northern Cape.

All fourteen learners are reported to be in a stable condition.

MEC Wendy Matsemela sends her heartfelt regards to the families of the learners and wishes a speedy recovery to the learners. Matsemela also sends a word of caution to the taxi drivers to adhere to the speed limits.

Although it is a parent’s prerogative to send their children to schools of their choice in the country, parents are also advised to register learners at neighbouring schools within the provincial demarcation so that learner transport can be regulated.
