The case against scholar transport driver Ayanda Dludla has been postponed to 22 April following a brief appearance at the Vanderbijlpark Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
Dludla, 22, faces 14 counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder, and additional charges, including operating a vehicle without a certificate of fitness.
He has previously abandoned his bid for bail.
The charges stem from a fatal crash in January in which 14 children lost their lives while travelling to school. It is alleged that Dludla overtook several vehicles using the oncoming traffic lane before colliding with a truck.
Gauteng authorities have since reiterated their commitment to removing vehicles that do not comply with safety regulations from the roads.
