Posted on Leave a comment

It seems that the implementation of cadre deployment and BBBEE practices are still taking their toll on the embattled national power provider. Eskom confirmed on Monday that the Medupi power station had an explosion on the number 4 unit’s generator, at around 22:50 on Sunday night, and that unit 5 also tripped as a result.

No injuries were reported at the plant and all employees and contractors were accounted for, but emergency services did assist seven workers with the necessary treatment for shock.

Posted on Leave a comment

A G4S money transit truck was blown up after the armed robbers brought it to a stop by crashing into it with a grey Mercedes.

The which, crime occurred  at Chamdor on Kagiso Drive in Krugersdorp, North West province, saw the driver of the Mercedes deliberately ram the cash transit vehicle and then after a while get out somewhat dazed. The other vehicle also seems to have hit the van as its rear bumper was loose.

The Mercedes was then deliberately set alight to destroy any evidence, after which they took cover while other criminals off camera blew up the cash transit truck, spreading cash everywhere. It did not take long for local looters to flood the crime scene grabbing the cash and destroying any evidence, long before police arrived to “secure” the scene. The perpetrators had made their getaway in a white Audi, a X5 and a white 3 Series.

Fire Destroy De Aar’s Courts After Explosion Because De Aar’s Volunteer Fire Service Has 30 Year Old Firetruck With Leaky Hoses

Posted on Leave a comment

Is civilization too complicated for Africa? A huge fire destroyed De Aar’s Courts. The volunteer fire squad arrived with the town’s 30 year old fire truck but could not extinguish the fire due to leaking fire hoses.

De Aar was shaken by a huge explosion last night at 21:45. Only about 2 hours later a huge fire was spotted at the local Magistrates Court. The part of the building that was destroyed houses the Roving, High and Regional court. So in effect De Aar don’t have Courts anymore.

The suspicion is that the fire was started by electricity supply to the town that was too high, because of faulty equipment. De Aar do not have a fulltime Fire Department and only uses a voluntary fire service. When they finally arrived with the town’s 30 year old fire truck, their efforts to put out the fire were hampered by fire hoses that were leaking. A spokesperson from the municipality says there is no money to finance a full time fire service.

If they are not blaming “apa

Van Reenen up in flames- traffic came to a halt after explosion on the famous route

Posted on Leave a comment

Motorists had to wait for hours before they could just pass through the famous Van Reenen from the Tugela Plaza due to a severe crisis.

A fire occurred due to a technical error that left a tanker in flames, but which also spread to an additional towing tank that was  filled with diesel.

The danger of huge explosions caused that no vehicle passed through the scene, and motorists was patiently waiting until everything subsided, a requirement for all.

On Monday, the cleaning process took hours to clear, and motorists were advised to use an alternative route that would mean many miles of detour.

Later, one lane was opened for traffic in both directions of the N3, but it took a long time before the traffic flow returned to normal.

However, unconfirmed reports say that another truck crashed into the tanker causing the fire, but the vehicle made it escape without being able to determine who its owners are.
