A terrible minibus taxi accident has claimed the lives of ten people and seven others seriously injured in Mpumalanga.

The head-on collision between the taxi and a car happened on the N-4 toll road between Middelburg and Belfast.

Both vehicles rolled several times after the crash and the taxi caught fire.

Officials say it appears that one of the taxi’s tyres burst causing it to swerve in front of the car.

The cause of the accident is still being investigated.
