Department spokesperson, Kwanele Ncalane says: "This is a very sad accident for the province, especially because we have had a bit of time where we have not had any major fatal accidents."
"We have already commissioned an investigation into this accident, but beyond that, we are working together with the families as well to see what kind of assistance we can offer as government during this difficult period."
