A tragic road accident in Limpopo Province, South Africa, on Sunday night has left at least 43 dead, including 22 Malawians, on a bus that was carrying over 90 passengers. The vehicle was traveling from South Africa to Malawi via Zimbabwe.

The Malawi Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported on Tuesday that 14 Malawians have been identified, while eight remain missing.

Six of those identified were treated as out-patients, and eight are still hospitalized.
