Christmas sorrow for passengers stranded by N1 bus fire

Wedding clothes, toys, groceries and other valuable belongings — all gone within seconds.

The passengers and crew managed to escape through the windows just as the bus became engulfed in flames, said emergency services. With traffic heavily backed up on the major highway, passengers were sitting on the side of the road. “The driver tried his best to make the bus stop. We broke the windows and got out from there,” Maphosa said. On the bus were 44 passengers including pregnant women, small children and elderly people, en route from Cape Town to Zimbabwe.

Looking at the transporting of gas tankers it is in all probability that the fire was caused by a gas explosion.Those passengers are lucky to have escaped with their lives. So this migration to SA has provided others with a livelihood as they become runners of goods. Dangerous.
