Forty-five people have died in South Africa after the bus they were in plunged off a bridge into a ravine, authorities have said.

An eight-year-old girl, the only survivor, was taken to hospital.

The bus crashed through a barrier and caught fire when it hit the ground in Limpopo province, in the country’s north-east.

The passengers were pilgrims travelling from Botswana’s capital Gaborone to an Easter service in the town of Moria.
