The government will repatriate the bodies of the 45 bus crash victims once the process of identification has been completed.

The fatal bus accident claimed the lives of 45 people after a bus from Molepolole carrying 46 occupants headed to Moria in South Africa fell off a bridge near Mokopane, Limpopo on Thursday.
