NATU calls for thorough probe into KZN bus crash
Updated | By Gcinokuhle Malinga
Teachers Union NATU has called on the law enforcement to speedily investigate the cause of the fatal school bus accident, that claimed the lives of six pupils in northern KZN.

This comes after five pupils from Mchitheki Secondary School in Nongoma died at the scene of the accident on the R618 road near Hluhluwe Game Reserve on Tuesday morning.
One pupil succumbed to their injuries in hospital in the afternoon.
Scores of injured pupils, teachers and the bus driver - believed to be in a critical condition - were rushed to KwaHlabisa Hospital.
According to preliminary reports the bus ferrying 34 Grade 10 and 11 pupils might have lost control when it failed to negotiate a bend.
It is understood the group were on a school excursion to Durban.
NATU president Sibusiso Malinga says some of its teachers rushed to the scene to offer emotional support.
"We kindly request that the department come on board and assist because really some of these teachers and learners need some psychologically assistance because really it was a very bad accident. The situation was very bad because the bus was on a tour, so it was very traumatizing and they said the bodies of five learners were still there.”
