The minibus taxi driver who was found guilty of murdering 10 children is expected to hear his jail sentence in the Western Cape High Court on Monday.

Jacob Humphreys (55), who had his R20 000 bail reinstated last year, was found guilty of murder and attempted murder.

Humphreys was taking the children to school on 25 August last year when he overtook a row of cars at the Buttskop level crossing in Blackheath, ignored safety signals and proceeded over the tracks.

A train hit the minibus taxi and 10 of the children were killed. Four children were seriously injured.
