Road accidents have claimed at least six lives in South Africa during the past 12 hours.
Four men died in a car accident on the N-12 East in Lenasia when the car they were travelling in overturned.
The men were travelling from Potchefstroom when the accident occurred.
A woman was killed and sixteen other people were injured, three critically, when a fully-laden minibus taxi left the N-3’s southbound carriageway near Heidelberg.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Jeff Wicks says the taxi rolled several times before coming to a stop on its roof.
And in the Northern Cape a man was killed when he was struck by a light motor vehicle on the N-12 Transvaal Road near Kimberly.
The victim died before paramedics could attend to him.
