Killer taxi driver Jacob Humphreys has been sentenced to 20 years in jail.
When he was sentenced by Western Cape High Court judge Robert Henney, Henney said that a non-custodial sentence would have sent the wrong message.
Humphreys was convicted last year for ten counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder.
His taxi was hit by a train after he ignored lowered booms at a level crossing, killing ten children nearly two years ago.
