The MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Violet Mathye, is appalled by the terrible accident that claimed six lives. The accident occurred along the R510 road next to Zanzuk farm in the Lephalale Municipality, Waterberg District.

Two sedans collided head-on, and police investigations will reveal the exact cause of the accident. Six people, including children, from one car lost their lives, while two from the other car were seriously injured and taken to Lephalale Provincial Hospital.

"On behalf of the Department and the people of Limpopo, we extend our sincere condolences to the affected families and wish the injured a speedy recovery. Let's always avoid reckless driving at all times," says MEC Mathye.

The Department's emphasis is on "EDWARD... Every Day without a road death."
