Rescue operations continued until the late hours of Thursday – with some bodies burned beyond recognition and others trapped inside the debris.
More than 40 people have died after a bus veered off a bridge on a mountain pass in South Africa and crashed down onto rocks some 50 metres below.
The bus, which had a Botswanan registration plate, had a total of 46 people on board, including the driver.
Only one child, an eight-year-old girl, survived the crash and is being treated in hospital.
In a statement, the transport ministry said the driver lost control of the vehicle while going a round bend.
The bus caught fire after the crash near Mamatlakala in the northeast province of Limpopo.
The passenger bus was transporting people from Botswana, who were reportedly travelling to Moria in Limpopo which hosts a popular Easter pilgrimage.
