Must have imagined all those deaths since no one is responsible 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have not seen Ministers going to visit this site

Who Is Wrong Now, Maybe The Families That Lost Their Loved Ones Must Sue The Municipality For Not Putting Visible Signs 🤷‍♂️

PutSouthAficansFirst ba fomola bare tuuuu. They waiting for a crime where a culprit is unknown so they can blame 'Black Foreigners'

LeratoMannya I think you should keep quiet!

Accountability is a myth in South Africa 🚮🚮

South african justice system is a joke, its run by criminals all the way

Independent report commissioned by who?

If he was black African immigrant, we would have seen it all. Every Tom and Dick will be in the streets. The hate poor black pple have towards each other is unmatchable.

__Skhulu The Driver is a South African Or From Zim.

But why he drove to that bridge speeding

'On December 29 the driver's employer said an internal investigation showed he immediately alerted his superiors and emergency services, and tried to clear the crowd gathering around the vehicle.' WHAT DID HIS SUPERIORS DO ABOUT IT? The report is obviously silent about this.

In wish basis are they cleared because the bridge didn't shrink to a smaller size than the truck,it stayed for all the years in that size and no truck has ever force itself to force that bridge to be bigger than its normal size.

Facts matter. Emotions won't help. If the Metro is at fault, we can't put blame on the driver. He did warn people to move back.

So those people died of natural causes! Hmmm

The route management and tracking system should have alerted the driver & company immediately when the truck went off route, surely the system would have detected that there is a bridge ahead & alerted route manager /driver. They should have immediately stopped.

Don't think this stands or worth any paper.

What does it mean? There's no one responsible for this heinous crime ... Do they blame the victims?

I wonder what will the lawyers of the victim's families have to say about that, lady Justice and the law is not one track route

Who are the owners of this Company, registered directors & its shareholders.? Who are they associated to in & offshore? What other business interests do they have in & offshore? Let's start there journalists

who's going to pay the victim's family?

He drove the truck under the bridge that’s that is smaller than truck. That is negligence there.

Seems premature to either clear or convict anyone. Surely a major catastrophe can not be investigated in such a short space of time

The justice system in S.A fails to provide justice at times uu know, I mean people died families and friends lost their loved ones and no one is going to be held responsible for this it's unheard of💔💔

In Musina today.same Company

This is where you see that people we trusted to deliver justice have been bribed, no other way to explain this cause the company's report clearly states that the driver took the wrong turn.

That is nonsense, do they have risk assessment ?

Total bull…

laws and feelings don't mix

Sometimes one wonders the meaning of these words,what exactly is wrongdoing 🤷?

SthembiD So who is wrong? The Bridge?

Visited the area yesterday, the mood in that neighborhood it's heart breaking, there tents in in almost 5 houses on the same street, meaning they preparing to bury their loved one's, some houses are damaged n who is gonna repair that, people went to the worse trauma 💔

I personally think the company and the city are reliable for this :The company was tracking the truck and they saw he took a wrong turn :The city for not having proper roads and road signs is very dengerous to all road users

welcome to the state-of-no-consequence... a banana republic :(

Hebanna...

That truck didn't drive itself to Boksburg. The owner and the driver are vicariously liable for the loss of the 38 lives resulted from the blast. Lesufi that Commission of Inquiry becomes necessary n urgent now. The bereaved families deserve justice someone is accountable.

Ngamasimba ke la, he took a wrong turn from where to where? Richards bay to Botswana and you take a turn that ends up in Boksburg? This is totally unacceptable, if he was not negligent did he check and confirm the bridge height, if there was no signage why did he proceed?

South Africa is a crime scene of Europeans they do what aver they want and they know nothing will happen to them

Heebana so u have 38 real human beings that lost their lives due to a truck that was brought into their area by someone employed by a company N NO 1 IS in the least ACCOUNTABLE. Haaaibo that's not right.These ppl didn't encounter a viz majeure it's 38 counts of culpable homicide.

Auditor may not stand scrutiny in a court of law. 3 things for me - Change management - the change in the route created an unknown risk which needed to be managed; best practise in terms of tracking the driver and emergency response - Decisive response would have saved lives...

Lol..SA alive with possibilities, so we must blame the civillians and healthworkers RamaphosaMustGo

Must be nice to be a Caucasian
