More than 100 children from a crèche were squashed into a taxi that is meant to only carry 26 people, and 28 children was found packed into a bakkie at Khayelitsha yesterday.

According to reports the traffic officers who stopped the taxi, were speechless when they counted 105 children between the ages of three and six, and eight adults including the driver, crammed into the taxi.

The creche had hired the bus to take the children to the Monwabisi resort for the day.

It has been reported that the taxi driver was fined for driving without a licence, having an expired operator's disc and for overloading.
