According to a source close to the girl's family, Ranaka claimed that she did not see the teenager.
The source further said the accident was "different" because police and traffic officers were not present at the scene.
Millicent was apparently visiting a friend in Roodekop at the time.
Yesterday a group of teachers from Mbonani's school visited the family to offer condolences. The family declined to speak to Media
Leondale High's engineering and graphic design HOD Vusumuzi Mahlangu described Mbonani as an intelligent student. He said there was no doubt that the girl had passed though the results were not yet out. "She was a good student who worked hard, and we knew that she was going to pass because of her hard work."
