A bus crash in South Africa's northern province of Limpopo resulted in 45 deaths and one serious injury, the country's Department of Transport said on Thursday.
The driver lost control and collided with barriers on a bridge near Mamatlakala, causing the bus to go over the bridge and hit the ground, catching fire, according to a statement by the transport department.
The bus was taking Easter pilgrims from Botswana to Moria, a town in Limpopo, it added.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa sent his condolences to Botswana and pledged support to the country, his office said in a statement.
Only an eight-year-old survived the crash and was receiving medical attention at a nearby hospital, Limpopo's Department of Transport said in a separate statement.
Some bodies were trapped inside the debris, the provincial department said.
