Injiva in court after hit and run accident

Mbuso Nkala, of House Number F90 Njube suburb and employed as an instructor at Altimate Driving School in Johannesburg, South Africa, was not asked to plead to charges of contravening a section of the Road Traffic Act (negligence and failure to stop after hitting a pedestrian).

He was remanded out of custody to 28 February on $50 bail.
The prosecutor, Mr Forster Abeki said on 22 December at around 8.30am, Nkala was driving a Gauteng registered Mazda 323 registration number ZSC 793GP and heading towards Bulawayo.

On approaching the 295km peg along the Beitbridge-Bulawayo road, he failed to apply brakes on time resulting in him hitting the boy who was trying to cross the road.

The victim sustained a fractured right arm and bruises on the head.
The court heard that Nkala did not make efforts to stop after the accident and proceeded with the journey. A follow-up was made leading to his arrest at a roadblock in Makhado.
