A mine dam wall collapse in South Africa's Free State province swept away houses and cars on Sunday, the provincial government said, killing one person and injuring another 40.
The disaster occurred in the mining town of Jagersfontein at around 0600 local time (0400 GMT), the government said, forcing officials to evacuate scores of residents to nearby farms.
One person was declared dead after their body was recovered, while 40 people, including one pregnant woman and four individuals with fractured limbs, have been taken to hospitals for treatment.
