In a head-on collision between a minibus taxi and a car near Tarkastad in the Eastern Cape 15 people were killed and four others seriously injured. Meanwhile eight people were reportedly killed and two are in a critical condition following an accident on the Xavier Road off-ramp on the M1 north, south of Johannesburg.

One person died and five others were seriously injured in a multiple- vehicle pile-up on the R34 between Mpangeni and Richards Bay in Northern KwaZulu Natal.
