A tragic bus accident on a mountain pass in South Africa has resulted in the loss of at least 45 lives, with only one survivor, an 8-year-old child, who sustained serious injuries. The bus, carrying worshippers from Botswana to an Easter weekend church gathering in South Africa, veered off the Mmamatlakala bridge in northern South Africa, plunging 50 meters into a ravine before bursting into flames.
Search operations are ongoing, but the intense fire has left many bodies unrecognizable and trapped inside the vehicle, while some were thrown from the bus during the crash. The incident occurred near the town of Mokopane, approximately 200 kilometers north of Pretoria, the South African capital.
