Tragedy struck in Pennington on Sunday afternoon (May 5) when thirteen year old Amahle Nakho died after she was struck by a vehicle.
According to police reports, it was the same vehicle in which she received a lift from Kelso (her residential area) to Pennington.
This incident is believed to have happened around 15:30 that day on the corner of Gumtree and Pennington Drive.
Later that day, the 35-year-old driver was located and arrested and is expected to appear in the Scottburgh Magistrate’s Court on a charge of culpable homicide.
A public appeal is now being made by Amahle’s father Henry for assistance with the funeral.
He would appreciate money to cover the funeral costs or food for the day.
If you are able to assist, contact 082 5533452. The funeral is expected to be held this weekend in Kelso.
