FatalMoves IamAlexSweet About bloody time.

IamAlexSweet By doing what? Setting up another committee that does fokol for a year, costing millions

IamAlexSweet There were reports the driver was making calls, I'm certain to his company and also local authorities, then why police, fire brigade and security were not posted asap to the incident. The lack of proper supervision enhanced the disaster.

IamAlexSweet They should investigate themselves! Where was law enforcement to keep back crowds and evacuate area?

IamAlexSweet Ekurhuleni is becoming a joke. Cheep PR. Maybe they should try getting some of the basics right. Refuse collection in Edenvale has been every two weeks for the last two months. No trucks or can’t afford to repair trucks. We’re still charged for weekly collection though.

IamAlexSweet The council needs to be charged

IamAlexSweet Soooo...just gonna shift the blame onto someone else then? Okay, got it 👍

IamAlexSweet Good luck. Be interesting to see what their case is. I hope the company sues the council for not maintaining bridge signs and for not enacting appropriate disaster management when the incident unfolded.

IamAlexSweet For what ? It was an accident

IamAlexSweet Let them act against themselves first by getting their act together

IamAlexSweet Insurances are there for times liks this

IamAlexSweet As they should. There was serious corruption there. Investigation completed within a week and driver cleared. No names, no details. I suspect he's foreign and police and government are covering this mess up.

IamAlexSweet Why were height clearance signs on that bridge not erected, replaced, due to illegibility? How must a truck driver determine despite having knowledge of the highest point of his vehicle? Where were the signs on that road pertaining to height clearance? Answer 1st bef litigation.

IamAlexSweet They should definitely do that
