Twenty-three supporters of an
Angolan premier league soccer team died and 29 others were injured when their
speeding bus crashed after a game, state media reported on Monday.
The bus carrying 70 Kabuscorp fans crashed in the southern
province Kwanza-Sul around 600km from the capital Luanda on Saturday night,
according to the Jornal de Angola.
Their team had been beaten 2-0 by hosts Libolo in the national
championship.
The victims were employed by a security company hired by
Kabuscorp.
Based in Luanda, the club belongs to Angolan entrepreneur Bento
Kangamba, who has links with the ruling MPLA party.
President Jose Eduardo dos Santos expressed "deep
sadness" at the accident, in a statement.
Road accidents are the second-highest cause of death in the
oil-rich southern African nation after malaria.
In May last year, 42 opposition Unita party supporters died in an
accident in the same area.
