The work experience of the 32-year-old driver of the gas tanker that exploded in Boksburg on Saturday has come under the spotlight before his first court appearance on Wednesday.
Speaking outside court, Peter “Pocket” Mofokeng said he drove that exact tanker for a year until September, when he and other drivers were dismissed.
“I’ve seen him drive small trucks. I’ve never seen him drive this truck. If he was experienced, he would have seen the bridge was low.” Two houses close to the scene burnt down and the blaze spread to the nearby Tambo Memorial Hospital, where health workers also became casualties.
