Barely hours after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that 22 Malawians were involved in a fatal bus accident in South Africa, the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC) has confirmed that 18 Malawians have been identified among the deceased.

In a statement signed by Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Justin Saidi, the OPC said President Peter Mutharika and First Lady Gertrude Mutharika are “deeply saddened by the tragic accident” and have conveyed their heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.

Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that 22 Malawians were on board the ill-fated bus, with 14 confirmed alive and eight reported missing.

The Ministry also stated that 43 people had died in the crash, though it could not immediately confirm whether any of the deceased were Malawian, noting that South African authorities were conducting forensic identification of the victims.

Meanwhile, President Mutharika has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to supporting the bereaved families with all necessary funeral arrangements and extended wishes for a swift recovery to those injured.
