Police spokesperson Aafje Botma said that a case of culpable homicide was being investigated after the accident happened on the N4 near Brits on Sunday morning.
She said besides the vehicle the band were travelling in, another car was involved in the accident.
However, it was still unclear exactly what happened. Botma said that the name of the deceased could not yet be released as it was not yet clear whether their next of kin had been informed.
