The bodies of the 45 Botswana citizens who perished in a bus crash in the Limpopo province of South Africa during easter period, are today being repatriated back to their country.

This after the finalisation of the indentification processes of all the bodies. Some of the bodies were burnt beyond recognition following the crash.

The sole survivor of the crash, an 8-year old girl, was admitted in hospital and has since been reunited with her family in Botswana.

The crash took place when these people where on their way to Moria for easter gathering.

Limpopo Health Member of Executive Council, Dr Phophi Ramathuba, says now the families will be able to find closure,” It has been a long traumatising month for everyone of us.

Starting with the families that have lost their loved ones who have been panicking not knowing whether they will find closure or not. We can confirm to the people of this country and the people of Botswana and the world that within a month we have been able to conclude the entire task of identification and the bodies are now ready for repatriation.”
