The ministry claims that the driver lost control and collided with the guardrails on the bridge, causing the bus to drive over the bridge and hit the ground, where it caught fire.
The passenger bus was carrying people from Botswana, a landlocked country in southern Africa.
Rescue operations continued until late Thursday evening as some bodies were burned beyond recognition, while others were trapped in the wreckage and scattered at the scene, the Limpopo Department of Transport said in a separate statement.
