"It's just something that I can't get over... maybe because I'm a father myself, and my son is in matric and these two learners were in matric."

"I can only imagine what the friends and family of these two learners must have been going through that Saturday evening, and the Sunday morning... and even now still."

- EB Inglis, Host - Kfm Lunch

"It's just another stark reminder of how quickly things can happen. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends and the fellow learners of those learners and the other people that were involved in this accident. Let's take this time to reflect on how quickly things can happen..."

"One saying keeps popping into my head: 'a parent should never have to bury their child'... this one rocked me."
