In a devastating turn of events, a routine journey turned into a nightmare as a bus traveling from Botswana to Moria for the Easter long weekend met with a catastrophic accident, claiming the lives of 45 passengers. The incident, marked by a harrowing series of events, has left communities reeling in shock and grief.
The journey, initially filled with anticipation and excitement for the holiday weekend, took a tragic turn as the bus reportedly lost control, careening off course and ultimately plummeting over a bridge.

Investigations into the cause of the accident have begun, with authorities focusing on the circumstances leading up to the loss of control and the subsequent fire.
