A minibus taxi accident claimed the lives of eleven people including a child in KwaZulu-Natal yesterday.

The driver of the minibus apparently lost control of his vehicle and it overturned on the R-34 near Utrecht.

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Cape, four people died in two different accidents near Kei Bridge.

While conveying his condolences, Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele said more than three-million vehicles and drivers had been stopped and checked since October.

Ndebele said more than a million fines were issued for various traffic offences across South Africa.
