Funeral service of four members of the Maswanganyi family.
Hundreds of community members and government officials have gathered at the Mayeke Primary School in Xikundu outside Malamulele in Limpopo for the funeral service of four members of the Maswanganyi family.
The family members died when they were travelling from Gauteng ahead of the Easter holidays.
This was after the vehicle they were travelling in collided with another vehicle on the N1 between Modimolle and Mookgophong last Wednesday.
