BUS BURST INTO FIRE

A passenger bus en route to Windhoek burst into flames in the Omutsegwonime area of the Oshikoto Region at around 21:00 last night.

Toivo Simeon, an eyewitness and passenger on the S. Ndapuka bus, reported that the passengers, particularly those sitting at the back, smelt something burning.

Simeon said the bus floor started heating up, and his phone, which was charging via the bus charging port, stopped working.

The bus driver also noticed something wrong and drove to the nearest service station, ordering the passengers to disembark while he called for a replacement bus from Ondangwa.

According to Simeon, the driver apologised and told them there would be about a two-hour wait. While he was informing them, someone noticed the fire, and chaos broke out as passengers scrambled for the exit door, fearing for their lives.

No serious injuries were reported with only a few items from the bus salvaged
