Trial of Pongola truck driver set to start in April
The case against a truck driver who crashed into a bakkie in Pongola, killing 20 people, has been postponed until April.
Eighteen primary school pupils were among those who lost their lives in the horror crash more than a year ago.
A teacher and the driver of the bakkie were killed.
Sibusiso Siyaya, who faces 20 counts of murder, lined up in a Pongola court for a pre-trial conference on Monday.
