Today, 33 years ago, 42 children lost their lives after a school bus swerved into the Westdene Dam. Chantal Parkin, one of the Westdene Bus Disaster survivor’s, joins City News in the studio to talk about this day.
I was not born when this happened but I did lose my cousin in this accident. She is Karen Erasmus. After this accident my mother lost contact with her brother who was Karens Father. If anybody could help me find out if there are brothers sisters or parents that has a support group for the victims of this accident please could you email me. I would love to meet the rest of my family.

Thanks
