Magistrate Brian Nemavhidi also convicted them of racing on a public road and driving while under the influence of drugs.

"The death of the deceased occurred as a result of the driving of those vehicles and as such accused are convicted of driving their vehicles while under the influence of drugs," he said.

School children broke down and started crying when judgment was handed down, and one of the family members of those killed fainted.

The magistrate said: “The death of the deceased occurred as a result of the driving of those vehicles and as such the accused are convicted of driving their vehicles while under the influence of drugs”.

Besides looking around to his family once, Maarohanye showed little emotion, as did Tshabalala.

Sentencing will take place on November 30.

The two have been remanded in custody. Spectators were informed: “Bail ended at the time the court announced its finding”.

This is really sad that innocent children have passed on because of people who think they own streets.
