TL;DR

A bus carrying worshippers to an Easter festival in South Africa plunged off a bridge, killing at least 45 people in Limpopo. The only survivor, an 8-year-old child, was seriously injured. The bus veered off the bridge, plunged 50 meters into a ravine, and burst into flames. The driver, believed to be from Botswana, was among the dead. The South African government is investigating the cause of the crash and has warned of the dangers of road accidents during the Easter holidays.
