On Sunday Transport and Public Works Minister Marius Fransman and Agriculture Minister Cobus Dowry will visit survivors of the bus crash that left nine people dead in Piketberg.

“On Friday night the bus was taking 42 agricultural workers back to their homes when the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle, says Transport spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila.
