Traffic chief Kenny Africa said the bus, Eagle Liner, was travelling on Airport Road in the direction of Plettenberg Bay when the driver lost control of the vehicle. “This happened on the alternative road used due to the N2 that’s been closed at Plettenberg Bay,” Africa said.Africa said stop and go was still in place.

“Several patients, 43 with multiple injuries, have been transported to various hospitals and 23 to a community [health] centre in Plettenberg Bay,” he said. The closure of the N2 was due to community protest over the lack of delivery of basic services and saw two people, aged 21 and 24, arrested for public violence, and followed a march by residents on June 18 to hand over a memorandum of demands to the municipality.
