The bakkie was transporting farm workers from the Kranskop area to their homes.
The bodies of two women, one of whom was pregnant, were found on Friday.

The department says that due to the heavy rains, the bodies were found over a stretch of many kilometres.
Describing the ordeal, survivor Sibongiseni Ndlovu says, “It was raining very hard, my uncle had to stop and wait for an hour because the water was above the river bank, when it stopped raining my uncle then tried to cross the river, in the middle of the bridge, a gush of water hit the car which caused him to lose control of the vehicle. My twin brother opened the canopy, we then jumped out. it was so sad to see others being unable to escape.”
