South Africa continues to mourn an unbearable loss. The death toll has risen to 13 following a devastating collision between a school transport vehicle and a truck in Vanderbijlpark, south of Johannesburg. Thirteen young lives gone. Several more children remain in hospital, fighting to survive. But as the country grieves, another painful conversation has emerged. In the aftermath of this
tragedy, images of parents collapsing on the ground, crying out for their children, spread rapidly across social media. Raw, private moments of unimaginable pain became public content.
