The driver of the gas tanker that exploded in Boksburg, east of Johannesburg on Saturday, has been arrested.

It has been bleak Christmas for families that lost their loved ones Saturday morning as a result of the gas tanker that exploded.

While some woke up in the morning with kids rushing to the Christmas tree to open their gifts, Plantation woke up to a sombre mood. The sound of the opening of wrapping paper was replaced by the tape blocking off the area of the blast where some lost their loved ones. Between the ashes and debris are shoes, wigs and even cellphones that tell of the many souls that departed on Christmas eve.

“My son passed away this morning. I’m still trying to locate my wife who was seen crouching on her knees. I’m a distraught father. I was not around. I was in Mpumalanga and I’m in a state, not knowing about my wife. Very sad about my son, I have lost a best friend.” The minister of health says three hospital staff have also lost their lives while others are being treated in hospital.
