Siboniso Zwane, the driver of the taxi that killed three Newlands East school girls, has been granted R3,000 bail.
Zwane appeared in the Ntuzuma Magistrate's court on Wednesday after he handed himself over to police last week. He allegedly fled the horrific crash scene on a main road in Newlands East.
Magistrate Ravi Pillay told Zwane that he was not to interfere with any of the witnesses nor enter the Ntuzuma magisterial region. He is also to report Tongaat police every Wednesday. Zwane faces three counts of culpable homicide relating to the deaths of Ayanda Mtshali, Thima Ngiba, both 14, and 13-year-old Luyanda Ngubane. A fourth girl is recovering in hospital.
