Limpopo has recorded a second road accident with multiple fatalities involving a cross-border bus in under a week.
On Sunday night five people travelling from Johannesburg to Zimbabwe died when a bus overturned along the N1 north towards the Nyl plaza, outside Mokopane. Many passengers sustained injuries of varying degrees.
Ten people travelling from Zimbabwe to Johannesburg were killed when a bus overturned on the N1 in Limpopo, at 3 Miles in Makhado, shortly before midnight last Tuesday.
Limpopo MEC for transport and community safety Violet Mathye called on cross-border public transport operators to ensure their drivers are "fit for purpose", saying fatigue could have been a cause for Sunday's accident.
