MOLEPOLOLE: Home to Bakwena, Molepolole came to a standstill on Saturday as multitudes of mourners thronged the village to bid farewell to the 45 believers of faith who perished in a horrific accident in South Africa on the Easter holidays.

The church members identified as "giants of faith" on pilgrimage died in an accident that occurred on a highway leading to St Engenas Zion Christian Church in Moria near Mmamatlakala in Limpopo, South Africa (SA).

The bus subsequently hit the rocky ground and caught fire leaving 45 people dead with only one survivor, a minor aged eight.
