“The conviction follows a fatal collision on Andrew Mapheto Road in Tembisa. On 30 October 2024, when Mogaila’s vehicle veered into oncoming traffic and collided with another vehicle. The crash claimed the life of 9-year-old Gomolemo Mavimbela and left her mother and 13-year-old brother seriously injured.”
