The mystery on what caused a Great North bus to set a light on Monday continues.
POLOKWANE – Patric Mokoe, Communication and Marketing Manager of Great North Transport, said the bus was taken to the depot shortly after the incident where technicians assessed the bus for the possible cause of the fire.
