A DNC cross-border bus travelling from Bloemfontein has plunged down a steep embankment near De Doorns, leaving a scene of devastation and grief along the mountainous stretch of road.
Preliminary eyewitness footage shows the bus lying upside down in a deep ravine, with wreckage scattered across the dry terrain as survivors and bystanders scramble to render aid.
According to early social media reports, the driver has been confirmed dead at the scene. The extent of injuries among passengers remains unclear, though rescue operations are ongoing.
