South African President Cyril Ramaphosa called the bus crash in Limpopo province a tragedy for South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Malawi, urging all road users to increase safety measures.
This tragedy, which occurred during South Africa’s annual “transport month,” resulted in at least 42 deaths and left 38 people hospitalised, according to authorities on Monday.
The bus, which was travelling from Gqeberha and carrying workers from Malawi and Zimbabwe back home, rolled down an embankment about 90 kilometres (55 miles) from the Zimbabwean border on Sunday.
Limpopo province transport minister Violet Mathye said the deceased included a 10-month-old girl.
Rescuers are still searching for more victims.
Mathye indicated that driver fatigue or a mechanical fault might have caused the driver to lose control.
The high rate of road deaths in South Africa is often attributed to issues like speeding, reckless driving, and unroadworthy vehicles, despite the country’s busy road network.
This incident echoes a similar tragedy from last year in Limpopo where 45 people died when a bus plunged into a ravine.
