Seven people have been killed and burnt beyond recognition after they were involved in a collision along the N1 between Kranskop and Mookgophong in Limpopo this morning.

It’s understood the victims died after the taxi they were travelling in crashed into a truck.

The incident happened in the same region where 40 people died in September after a bus was involved in an accident.

Authorities are combing through the scene to determine the cause of the crash.

Provincial transport and community safety department spokesperson Matome Moremi-Tauatsoala said, “Those travelling from Limpopo, rather use R101 to go to Johannesburg. Those coming from Johannesburg rather use Bela Bela offarmp.”
