The South East District Council (SEDC) has resolved to buy a 65-seater bus for use by students on school trips.

Over P1 million is expected to be spent on the bus by the end of financial year.  Currently the SEDC has one 65-seater bus and three sprinters. The issue arose after some students of Matsha Senior School were involved in a horrific accident in 2015. 

“The Council took a resolution after some of our schools complained that at times they are forced to drop the school trips if the Central Transport Organisation (CTO) buses had been all booked. With two 65-seater buses, we believe that it will help to address the problems of transport shortage that is already there. Trucks will then be used to transport goods for students,” SDEC chairperson Phenyo Segokgo said.
