On the evening of 13 October 2024 a tragedy unfolded at the intersection of Plataan and the N12 in Klerksdorp when the Blue Renault in which 4 young people were traveling was struck at high speed by a Mercedes Benz. Three of the young people died on the scene and the fourth in the early hours of the next day.
Poor law enforcement can be blamed as too many people no longer have any respect for traffic laws and skipping red traffic lights and stop signs and speeding is commonplace. 4 Families lost loved ones and so many questions remain and too many people speculate as to the cause on social media.
There is no easy way to bring this story to others.
Our hearts are heavy as we remember the four beautiful souls who were taken from us far too soon. Each of them brought joy, love, and light to the lives they touched, and their loss leaves a void that can never be filled.
To their families, friends, and everyone grieving this unimaginable loss, our deepest condolences and love are with you.
We honor their spirit, their laughter, and the love they gave. Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
Please keep their loved ones in your thoughts and prayers as we come together in this time of grief.
Rest in Peace Ruan Esterhuizen, Jackie Willis, Max Knott-Craig en Jané Janse van Rensburg.
