The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) is investigating the cause of a bus crash that claimed the lives of 10 people and left three others seriously injured in Limpopo.

The crash took place along the N1 in Makhado on Tuesday night at around 11:50 pm.

The bus driver, who was allegedly speeding, failed to safely navigate a traffic circle resulting in the bus overturning while traveling south bound from Zimbabwe to Johannesburg.

The deceased passengers are reportedly all foreign nationals.

‘The RTMC expresses deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who tragically lost their lives in this incident and wishes a speedy recovery to those who are currently hospitalised with injuries,’ the Road Traffic Management Corporation said in a statement.

The RTMC crash investigation team is on the scene gathering information to understand the circumstances leading to the crash.
