The tragic incident involving a bus carrying Christians to an Easter festival has resulted in the loss of 45 lives, with only a child surviving the ordeal.
Reports indicate that the bus was en route from Botswana to Moria, South Africa, for the Easter festival, a popular pilgrimage destination for Christians, particularly during the Easter season. The passengers on the bus were members of the Christian Zionist Church.
The accident occurred when the bus lost control on the Mmamatlakala bridge, located along the Kloof Pass, a mountainous area in the northern part of the country. The region is known for its tight and sharp bends, which may have contributed to the loss of control.
Tragically, the bus plunged approximately 164 feet into a ravine before bursting into flames upon impact. Compounding the tragedy, the bus was also towing a trailer filled with flammable materials at the time of the accident, exacerbating the severity of the incident.
The devastating loss of 45 lives in this accident has deeply saddened the community, and our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.
