Vongani Chauke, spokesperson for Limpopo Transport and Community Safety MEC Florence Radzilani, said the truck driver was among the dead.
The exact number of deaths remains uncertain as many victims were still trapped inside the taxi at the time this report was published.
Chauke said the taxi was transporting teachers to a school when the accident happened.
The collision took place on Dendron Road in Ga-Hlahla, in the Polokwane local municipality. This section of the road remained closed following the smash.
