JOHANNESBURG - Botswana's health department is meeting with families of the Limpopo bus crash victims to collect samples which will enable identification of the victims

45 Botswana nationals died last week after their bus plunged off a bridge and caught fire.

WATCH | All 46 involved in fatal crash were in SA legally

Most of the bodies were charred to ashes and will only be able to be identified through DNA samples.

Limpopo Health MEC, Phophi Ramathuba, says the state of the bodies has complicated matters.

She said, "The complexity arises as a result of bodies being physically damaged."

"As the bus rolled and when in caught fire. This is why people say there’s more deaths reported and fewer body bags."
