The only surviving individual from the devastating bus crash, which resulted in the loss of 45 lives of Batswana pilgrims in Limpopo, South Africa, is now en route to her home. This eight-year-old girl is returning this afternoon after being discharged from Mokopane Hospital in South Africa today.
The child was among the pilgrims traveling to Moria for Easter weekend worship. Unfortunately, their bus never reached Moria, as it overturned on Mma Matlakala Bridge on Thursday. The 8-year-old girl, accompanied by her grandmother, emerged as the sole survivor.
Since the tragic incident, she had been hospitalized. Dr. Joe Phaahla, South Africas Minister of Health, confirmed that she had been recovering well after receiving medical treatment and undergoing minor surgery.
Accompanied by her mother, who was flown to South Africa by the Botswana government, she is anticipated to return to her home country soon.
