The accident occurred on August 30, on the N1 near Ysterberg Mountain, outside Polokwane.

According to Departmental spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene, two sedans collided head-on before catching fire. Tidimalo added that four of the deceased were burnt beyond recognition.

“Preliminary reports suggest one of the vehicles may have attempted to overtake when the crash occurred. Although the investigation is ongoing, reckless driving has not been ruled out as a contributing factor.”

Instagram users weighed in.

One user said: “Get well soon brother.”

Another user said: “Speedy recovery boss. Your job is not done yet.”

While another one said: “Glad you’re out of ICU, just a shame you couldn’t be out with DJ Poizen.”
