A Northern Cape taxi driver has been jailed for causing a car crash that killed six people in 2012.

Aobakwe Molapisi started his jail term on Thursday after the Kuruman Regional Court found him guilty. The State successfully argued that Molapisi failed to obey the rules of the road and caused the fatal crash on the R31 Hotazel Road.

“The Kuruman Regional Court has sentenced Aobakwe Molapisi, a taxi driver from the town of Kuruman to five year of direct imprisonment. The accused was charged with six counts of culpable homicide. He’s accused of having caused an accident in the year 2012. As the NPA, we believe this sentence will work as a deterrent to other road users to obey the rules of the road and to be alert at all times especially now as we approach the festive season”, says NPA spokesperson, Mojalefa Senokotsane.
