On Thursday, a tragic accident occurred in South Africa when a bus carrying passengers from Botswana to an Easter conference lost control and collided with the barriers of a bridge in the province of Limpopo. The devastating accident claimed the lives of 45 people, leaving only one survivor – an eight-year-old girl.
Emergency services are currently working at the crash site to rescue any additional survivors and retrieve the bodies of the victims. However, they are facing challenges due to the difficult terrain and limited resources.
South African Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga visited the scene of the accident to offer her condolences to the families of the victims. She urged everyone to practice responsible driving, particularly during busy weekends like Easter. The South African government has pledged to assist in repatriating the bodies and conducting a thorough investigation into the causes of the tragic accident.
