He says it is understood the children were not in school uniforms at the time of the collision.

"The learners were not going to the school. According to what we have gathered, they were coming from a party of some sort.

“The manner in which bodies were, it was not easy for us to identify them. But I think as from Monday, working with the relatives or families, we will then be able to identify them."
