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

An eightyearold 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 northeast.

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