The devastating impact of drunk-driving: a family’s story

Post

April 16, 2025

Families affected by drunk-driving tragedies advocate for stricter sentencing laws. They share their heart-wrenching stories of loss and the need for justice

- MONISHKA GOVENDER monishka.govender@inl.co.za

FAMILIES who have lost their loved ones to accidents caused by drunken drivers believe the six-year prison sentence could go a long way in saving other families from going through the pain and trauma they endured.

In January 2018, a South Coast businessman was charged with eight counts of culpable homicide and drunk driving after an accident that claimed the lives of a Pietermaritzburg family.

The victims were Mitchell Mahabeer, 43, his wife Veroshnie Ramparsad, 34, his mother-in-law, Lorraine Rampersadh, 57, brother, Jesse Mahabeer, 22, and his children Titus, 3, Leah, 6, Hannah, 7, and Isabella, 11.
