A Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMP) police officer has been sentenced to six years in prison for three counts of culpable homicide by the Lenasia Magistrate Court.
The case stems from a tragic incident that occurred in June 2018 when Raymond Nkosinathi Mzizi was driving a state vehicle along the busy Golden Highway when he collided with a Toyota Corolla and a Siyaya minibus taxi.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID)'s spokesperson Lizzy Suping said there were five occupants in the Toyota Corolla, a father, his three daughters, and a grandchild.
"Two daughters and a grandchild died at the scene while the father and one daughter were transported to Baragwanath Hospital for medical treatment," said Suping.
