A Christian group on their way from Okamatapati to Swakopmund for a church event faced horror when the mini-bus they were travelling in overturned on late Friday afternoon.

The driver was one of the fourteen unfortunate people who died in the crash. The 16 seater minibus was carrying 45 passengers including the driver. The other passengers sustained less serious to serious injuries and were transported to the Otjiwarongo State Hospital. Some of the injured were transferred to Windhoek for specialist intervention.
