South Africa: at least 45 dead after bus falls from bridge. Only one person, an eight-year-old child, survived the crash.
Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga promised a thorough investigation. South Africa has one of the most developed road networks on the continent but is among the worst performers in terms of road safety.. The accident occurred on a huge suspension bridge between two hills near Mmamatlakala in the Limpopo province (north), more than 300km from Johannesburg.
