Prayers for South Africa

[@tameimpala37]

Pray for regime change. The government does not believe in 'law and order'.

[@Ginny65]

My condolences to all family and members.rip brothers and sisters

[@amaizingworld880]

A litteral miracle. God bless her and heal her. And if this is typical every year, someone needs to improve the roads!

[@lesleynko1241]

As a motswana from 🇧🇼 Botswana, we are mourning this tragic loss of life.

[@vinay9053]

Something wrong with that highway .

[@melanieknowles7002]

It is not a highway....

[@BonganiMagadu]

I was on that road in January with my wife. We were on our way from Zim and drove through Francis town, Botswana on our way to Johannesburg. Some foolish policeman stopped me for speeding😢😓 It's a bad spot. R. I. P to the deceased

[@kasikwagoma6740]

I am an African woman and I have began to question whether we were made up to live with the modern systems the Europeans brought to our continent. We don't know how to drive decently, we don't maintain infrastructure or build any that are worthwhile or longlasting. Maybe we were just meant to walk, walk and walk like our distant ancestors did. They had no cars except maybe donkeys. We can't seem to cope with the modern world, can we???

[@jfranklin9549]

I feel like that too, living in CA with infrastructure that cannot conquer nature.

[@leonietrevor3801]

So sorry! 😢😢😢😢

[@SandeepSingh-or7jr]

Lifetime neverending trauma for girl

[@sandysutherland6810]

This truly dreadful!

[@tameimpala37]

The roads in South Africa are the most lawless system I've seen. No law enforcement and people drive like lunatics i.e. no respect for safety. NO SURPRISES HERE.

[@MrPickledede]

The SA government is too busy funding witch hunts against Israel rather than funding their police and infrastructure.

[@BonganiMagadu]

Was telling my wife the driving in SA is terrible and would shock most people in the UK Never seen such recklessness. I was overtaken by a bakkie pulling a trailer at 120km/hr. Only an idiot with no knowledge of physics drives like that Couldn't believe someone could be that suicidal and dangerous at the same time

[@amarut6208]

The bus, driver and all passengers were Botswana nationals driving on a perfect road, unfortunately the driver lost control. Now, how is this South Africa's fault? Stop blaming people who had nothing to do with the accident. Condolences 🙏 to all families who lost their loved ones. The people of South Africa sympathize with our neighbors Botswana on this tragedy.

[@goofed86]

They don't even have to take a driving test before they can drive in some African countries

[@tameimpala37]

@@goofed86 Their lawless systems kill them but they somehow think these deaths are God's will!!

[@user-uy7wp8mf8n]

The real shock is this is typical.

[@BrenThen4367]

IF WAS HIRE COACH THEN COMPANY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE

[@waqarshah6173]

There should be some design modification required of road and some additional safety measures to avoid such kind of accident..very sad

[@deonvanrensburg5512]

This is expected as in SA there is no LAW on our roads. Vehicles and public transport are not roadworthy. Police are only visible to take bribes.

[@LizaFergison]

Unfortunately, that bus was probably over filled with passengers. The tyres may also be bare of thread. That is often the norm in Southern Africa. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones.

[@BonganiMagadu]

Facts

[@phillimonphuthego5262]

That was a 65 seater bus..and it had only 45…its illegal in botswana to overload especially since it was a cross boader..

COME ON MAN need the bus drivers to stop smoking so much GANJA while driving but is what it is these days with all the legal DOPE SMOKING

[@user-tw9is4it8e]

I hope Sam Walker is ok

[@jetster785]

Reminds of that chinese bus which went over a bridge rail into the water years ago, as the driver and passenger had some skirmish over a missed bus stop! Who knows how this happened?!

[@user-xt5yz8wm7z]

Ok bot 😂😂

[@FRANK-cents]

The wheels on the bus go 👇😵😪

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@krystalbrooksaintjohn3345]

😔

[@gordondalrymple7644]

Every year ? Do they have a government there ?

[@maseratifittipaldi]

They DO have a government. An ANC government - which says it all. From accidents like these to civilian poverty, multi-millionaire politicians, crime, unemployment, crumbling infrastructure, low educational standards, massive theft from state coffers and overall national degradation.

[@UCerIPZEWWovlPTtIiINi5RQ]

Our government couldn't care less - they're too busy looting.

[@bonganikato3016]

Dude it's a road accident. No need to take it any further than that.

Sad to learn of the new this is a curse for your leader ignorance to go against the Bible by taking Israel to court

[@avrumiulano4785]

very sad! but when u criticize Israel the chosen nation. for trying to end Hamas/ISIS. after the terrible oct 7th attack. god will not like that

[@leonietrevor3801]

What a joke!

[@kusaselihlengubane8984]

The bus is from Botswana

[@enrico7305]

Why is this a news that people should care and know about it. Stop spreading negativity and inform people about actual issues

[@kyla2707]

How is a story in which 45+ people lost their lives not newsworthy? Why should people not care or know about it? How does a 2 minute video distract from the "actual issues"?
