Sole survivor of deadly Limpopo bus crash flies back to Botswana

Atlang Siako is the sole survivor of the Limpopo bus crash that claimed the lives of 45 people.

The bus was travelling between Botswana and South Africa on Thursday when it plunged off a bridge before catching alight near Mokopane.

The bus carrying 46 passengers was on its way to Moria at the time of the crash.

Ramathuba spoke to the media outside the Polokwane Airport on Wednesday morning.

“I still insist that she is in a position where we can now release her into her home because the psychological impact of being away from home contributes to her total complete healing. She is still in a lot of pain, but we are satisfied with her condition”.

Siako is now on her way back home to Botswana.

On Tuesday, Health Minister Joe Phaahla promised that the post-mortem results for the identified bus crash victims would be completed soon.
