Arrest warrant issued for trucker involved in Mariannhill crash
A warrant of arrest has been issued for the truck driver who ploughed through more than a dozen vehicles on the N3 near the Mariannhill Toll Plaza late last year.
The crash claimed the lives of two people, including the son of Minority Front leader Shameen Thakur-Rajbansi.
Pradhil Thakur-Rajbansi and his fiancée Priyanka Nunkumar were killed after their vehicle was crushed by the heavy goods truck.
Vuso Tega, who is facing two counts of culpable homicide, was released on R10 000 bail in November last year.
"The matter appeared before the Pinetown Magistrates Court and the accused was not present," says KZN National Prosecution Authority spokesperson Natasha Kara.
"This is the second appearance where the accused as been absent without any explanation."
