On Saturday road accidents in South Africa claimed more than 30 lives.

Twenty two people were left dead in an early morning collision between a taxi and a bakkie near Laingsburg on the N1. Among the deceased were three children.

It is believed that the taxi was travelling from Rondebosch in Cape Town to Malawi and Zimbabwe.

Another five people died when a man was racing on the highway after he hijacked a taxi and hit oncoming traffic on the N2 in Durban.

A further 10 people were also killed in accidents in and around Gauteng.
