A bus with a Botswanan registration plate veered off a bridge in South Africa, resulting in the deaths of over 40 people, leaving only one survivor, an eight-year-old girl. The incident occurred near Mamatlakala in Limpopo province while the bus was transporting passengers from Botswana to an Easter weekend church service in Moria. The driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to catch fire post-crash. Rescue operations were challenging due to bodies being burnt beyond recognition and trapped in the debris.
