A Gauteng bus driver, with 15 years of experience, has been hailed a hero for driving 500m to get commuters to safety after a passenger was brazenly shot and killed in a suspected hit on Wednesday.
The driver, whose identity has been withheld, was lauded for his quick thinking by Metrobus’ acting MD, Bongani Radebe, who said he potentially saved 15 lives.
Radebe said that, after stopping the bus away from the murder scene, the driver asked commuters to disembark and run for safety.
