Mabaso said personnel arrived at the scene to find a bus and truck had collided head-on, with some patients trapped inside both vehicles. The last time she saw her son was in the morning when they changed buses as they usually do every day, she taking the bus to Midrand while he took the one to Centurion.
Kgomo said the people on the other bus were the first ones to arrive and tried to remove all those who were still alive and were able to walk. “When I keep quiet that thing comes back to me because we were the first — we broke the window on top to save people from outside. “I am hurt on my hands and my legs, both of them. The pain is very bad. At least there is hope,” Chira said.His brother, Gontse Chira, said he found out about the accident through Facebook and called his mother.
It was actually in Pretoria. Tshwane is the municipality and includes Bronkhorstspruit and Cullinan as well.
