Deputy Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga was speaking to community members in the Vhembe district of Limpopo and the families of the many people who had been affected by the bus crash in Makhado.
President Cyril Ramaphosa also wished the survivors a speedy recovery as he feared that the crash may have left them with trauma and psychological scars.
A bus transporting commuters from Louis Trichardt to different villages in the Vhembe district in the province collided with a cash-in-transit van on the N1 on Monday night, leaving at least 21 people dead.
