A deadly bus crash has claimed the lives of at least ten people in Limpopo.

The Provincial Transport and Community Safety MEC Violet Mathye said that the foreign nationals were travelling from Zimbabwe to Johannesburg when the accident happened on the N1 highway near Makhado just before midnight.

More than 30 other people were injured, with 12 in a serious condition.

It’s understood that the bus drove over a roundabout at a high speed, lost control and overturned.  The bus driver is reportedly new in his job and not familiar with the surroundings.
