One was laid to rest at Seshego Zone 5 on Saturday.

The other three teachers will be laid to their final resting places next weekend.

A total of 13 people were killed in the crash – the other three collision victims were a mini-bus taxi and truck driver as well as an Eskom employee.

The deaths of the teachers have been described as a big loss to the department. MEC Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya says the teachers have left a void.

“Our thoughts are with you and we’re saying we can never in anyway replace our educators, your children that have left this world. Our deepest condolences. We are with you.”
