This follows after an accident involving a bus and a heavy delivery truck carrying crates of beer bottles, according to Matome Moremi, spokesperson for Limpopo Roads and Transport.

“The 61 Passenger bus was carrying 16 passengers. Details of injuries and fatalities will follow as soon as the scene is cleared. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes,  as the clearing of the scene might take few hours. Those traveling from Polokwane to Giyani must opt to use the Soekmekaar road and vice-versa,” Moremi said.
