Family killed in midlands accident laid to rest in mass funeral
The family of 13 who were killed in a horrific Kilmon accident, near Underberg have been laid to rest.
Twelve people- including a two-year-old child - died last Saturday when the taxi they were travelling in rolled down an embankment. Government officials attended the Mndali family funeral, to extend their condolences to the bereaved families yesterday.
KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala says preliminary investigations have revealed that the vehicle was not registered.
"The vehicle was not part of any association or transport community. Since SA entered Level 1 we have had 77 crashes in KZN and have cost 106 lives", he said.
He says investigations continue.
"It is difficult to know for sure what transpired as most of the occupants, including the driver, were killed but investigation goes on", Zikalala said.
