Traffic has been disrupted. Mpumalanga Community Safety MEC Pat Ngomane says:
“This one involved public transport. Seven people at a go, they died. So it’s very much horrible to us. We wish to communicate to all, specifically drivers of public transport, to obey the rules of the road because they are carrying lives of our people who are many at a time.”
