The Department of Education in Limpopo says several other pupils were injured in the crash on the N11 near Sekgakgapeng Bridge.


Limpopo Education MEC Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya has sent her condolences to the bereaved families.


“My prayers go to the bereaved families, as no parent should ever have to experience the pain of losing a child, and may the departed souls rest in peace. I wish a speedy recovery to all injured learners”.


The crash came days after Botswana’s President Mokgweetsi Masisi and President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the accident scene on R518 Mmamatlakala road in Mokopane following a bus crash that claimed the lives of 45 Botswana citizens.


They died while on their way to St Engenas Zion Cristian Church (ZCC) for an Easter pilgrimage to Moria.


An eight-year-old girl was the only person to survive the crash.
