MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR CRASH VICTIMS

A MEMORIAL service will be held on Monday for the victims of the Lydenburg bus disaster in which 26 British tourists and a South African tour guide were killed last week. National minister of environmental affairs and tourism, Valli Moosa, the British High Commissioner and provincial premier, Ndaweni Mahlangu, are expected to attend the service. Spokesperson for Mpumalanga’s economic affairs and gaming department, Jomo Mnisi, said on Thursday that the service will be held at the site where the tour bus crashed down a slope, just outside the small town.
