Video: Dad in trouble for teaching minor to drive, while other kids sat on car top
A father of three is in trouble after he recorded his daughter driving a car while one other son was on top of the car and another was hanging by the passenger window.
He says the matter was taken up by the MEC of social development and the Minister of Transport who have since contacted him for questioning. A case has been opened and he has been attending court sessions.
He says teaching his children how to drive has been their lifestyle and he didn’t know it was against the law.
In the video, a man is heard asking one Lebza if she enjoyed driving. He also talks with two of his children, one on top of the car while another was seated by the window, with half part of his body hanging outside.
He posted on his Facebook account:

The habit of teaching children how to drive caused a stir on social media, with others considering it as normal while others condemned the incident. The father in this incident seemed to endanger his children.
At the time the video went viral, The MEC for social development in Limpopo, Nkareng Rakgoale, said the matter had been referred for assessment.
“The behaviour displayed in the video is against the prescripts of the Children’s Act, which discourages all of us to expose children to harmful behaviour. Allowing children without drivers’ licences to drive vehicles to put their lives and the lives of other road users in danger. Parents and adults are compelled to create a conducive environment for children and always ensure their safety,” she said.
She said the adult violated section 28 of the Bill of Rights on the protection of children according to Timeslive.
