- SAPS says investigations will focus on culpable homicide while the Road Traffic Management Corporation will finalise a technical report and analyse why the bus travelled so far with many passengers.

- It is anticipated that by Wednesday the Forensic Pathology teams will have concluded post-mortem examinations, and Mr Ndavhe Ramakuela said `It is only then that they will be able to repatriate them for their families to have their final closure,` as the process remains tedious.
- Mr Ndavhe Ramakuela said they are working with Zimbabwean and Malawian authorities, while the Department of Transport engages Zimbabwean authorities on cross-border transport compliance.
