A month since the Boksburg explosion
Today marks a month since the devastating explosion of a gas tanker in Boksburg that has thus far claimed 41 lives. It was on the morning of Christmas Eve when the tanker got stuck under an overhead bridge in Plantation, near the Tambo Memorial Hospital. The explosion destroyed the bridge, parts of the Hospital as well as homes, cars, and infrastructure. Those who died include 12 healthcare workers at the health facility. The driver of the truck was initially taken into police custody, but was subsequently released pending further investigations. The Gauteng provincial government says the investigations have been completed, and the docket has been forwarded to the relevant authorities for a decision.
