In response to the weekend bus accident that killed at least 10 people near Dimbaza, outside King Williams Town, the Eastern Department of Transport has teamed up with the Road Accident Fund (RAF) to finance the funeral service of the deceased and provide support to the families.
While the department regrets the death of the members of road users, regular meetings with community leaders and affected families continue to be held in preparation for the funeral service.
A mass memorial service will be held on 18 September at the Lenye Township Roman Catholic Church Hall and is scheduled to start at 12h00. Details of the funeral service will be communicated in due course.
