Eight months ago, on August 12, 2016, a bus carrying St Mary’s Nyamagwa Girls High School students crashed just two kilometres from their school. It left four school girls dead and scores of others badly injured.

The school had just bought a new bus and the students had insisted on a joy ride to “test” the new machine that they would be using to attend academic functions.
