"How are they? Prayers to them as well. Just because they are not famous, it doesn’t mean they deserve to die or get injured."

"They should also mention the occupants of the other car."

Hlubikazi893800 sympathised with the other victims:

"The sad part is the fact that no one talks about the four people who were burned beyond recognition in the other car; no one talks about them."

TumeloMuteme was shocked:

"Ohhh my goodness! I saw on FB that four of the other occupants died and were burnt beyond recognition. I didn’t know it was the same accident."

Sykhopath added:

"It’s really bad, also the guys should’ve booked bnb in Mokopane. They are far cheaper if it was too late to drive or gig. It was nearly AMs. RIP to the Poizen and anyone involved, too."
