In South Africa, 45 people were killed in a bus accident in the northern province of Limpopo. Country’s Transport Department said, the driver lost control of the vehicle and collided with barriers on a bridge near Mamatlakala, causing the bus to go over the bridge, hitting the ground and catching fire.

The bus was taking Easter pilgrims from Botswana, a landlocked country in Southern Africa, to Moria, a town in Limpopo in South Africa. Only an 8-year-old survived the crash, who was receiving medical attention at a nearby hospital.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa sent his condolences to Botswana and pledged support to the country.
