A Limpopo family are reeling after four people died when a wall collapsed on guests during a lobola ceremony in GaChuene Thokgwaneng on Saturday.

After a few minutes there was dust and we couldn’t see what happened, but we knew that there were people inside [the tent]. After getting a clear view of what happened, that is when we saw that there were people trapped inside and we tried to remove them,” he said.“For the lobola negotiations we finished early, at about 12pm to 1pm.
“She cannot even get out of the house right now. She can’t even talk to anyone. She is still in shock, she is also still afraid. Yika said it was not uncommon for roads in the area to be damaged and roofs blown away during windy and rainy weather.sent her condolences to the families of the victims.
