Teacher fined for cramming 19 kids into small car on school trip

A teacher at a South African nursery school has been fined after police stopped her with 19 children packed into a small car.

Melanie Minnie was reported by a member of the public as she transported the pupils in her Renault Clio. Cops in the city of Pretoria issued her with a fine of 1,500 rand, just under $175.

"It was the first and the last time that we'll go on an outing... we're actually a very cute school," Minnie said, according to a report in South Africa's Citizen newspaper.
