Your news coverage of this incident was sloppy. Why dit this happen? Is this the first time gas was delivered by road to Botswana. Which route do they normally take. Is this the first time this vehicle was used. Who determine the route - the driver or the company?

Shouldn’t we wait for structural engineers to assess the site and write an official report?
