28 October 2025- Four people aged between 25 and 35 have died in a motor vehicle accident in Wolmaranstad on 26 October 2025, at around 12:30pm in the afternoon. The four, all men and all related, have gathered for a family tombstone when they decided to visit other family members in nearby Makwassie.
The North West MEC for Community Safety and Transport Management, Wessels Morweng said they were altogether in a sedan when they met their untimely passing.

“Three, including the driver who is a teacher at the local school died at the scene of the accident. Two of the passengers were taken to the hospital, where one unfortunately succumbed to the injuries leaving a sole survivor who is still recuperating at the hospital.
“We send our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and wish speedy recovery to the injured. A culpable homicide case is being investigated,” he said.
