A 12-year-old boy appeared in the Brakpan magistrate's court in the presence of his guardian to face charges of culpable homicide and driving a motor vehicle without a licence.
“It is alleged that on Saturday at about 1pm, the minor was driving his parents’ vehicle at the corner of Madeley and Northdene streets when he drove over a 14-year-old boy and bumped into a wall,” National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana said.
The 14-year-old boy was declared dead on the scene. The 12-year-old was then taken to the Brakpan police station and later released into the care of his parents on Sunday.
