The Zion Christian Church (ZCC) has been in the international news recently. On Thursday, 28 March 2024, a small town in Limpopo South Africa was the scene of a horrific bus crash that took the lives of at least forty-five people. The bus was travelling from Botswana on the way to an Easter gathering as part of the annual ZCC festivities. 

The driver lost control and the bus careened off a bridge and fell 50 meters below where it burst into flames. Everyone on board was killed, except for an 8-year-old child who remains in serious but stable condition.
