In a heartrending incident in South Africa, a bus accident claimed the lives of 45 individuals, leaving an eight-year-old girl as the sole survivor. The bus, carrying pilgrims from Botswana to an Easter service, met with disaster as it veered off a bridge in the Limpopo province, plunging 50 meters into a ravine and erupting into flames upon impact.
Authorities reported that the young survivor sustained serious injuries but has since been stabilized, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the overwhelming tragedy. The accident scene, marked by the harrowing task of recovering 34 bodies, some of which remain unidentifiable, underscores the severity of the crash.
The pilgrims’ journey from Gaborone to Moria was tragically cut short on the Mmamatlakala mountain pass, a reminder of the unforeseen perils that can occur on the road. The young girl’s miraculous survival, attributed to being ejected from the bus before the fire, brings a poignant note to this devastating event, as rescue operations continue in the aftermath.
