Innovative Staffing Solutions writes a response to Malaika Mahlatsi's opinion piece.
On 29 December 2022, an opinion piece written by Ms Malaika Mahlatsi entitled MALAIKA MAHLATSI: Boksburg explosion a crisis of SA's destroyed railway network was published on the Eyewitness News website.
What is astonishing is that Ms Mahlatsi completely omits the timing relating to the accident and the subsequent explosion from the article. At approximately 06h15 on Saturday, 24 December 2022, the tanker became stuck under a subway bridge in Railway Street. At 6:45 AM, the tanker caught alight and it later exploded at approximately 7:30 AM on Saturday.
Ms Mahlatsi then relies on an article published in July 2021 in which Arnoux Maré is quoted saying that “Drivers are in such high demand that employers simply do not have the capacity to allow them time off to enhance their skills and improve their abilities. They are required to be behind the wheel every available moment.” This a quote is from July 2021, and was related to the increased pressures facing the transport and logistics industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It appears that by design Ms Mahlatsi has sought to attribute the aforementioned quote to Mr Mare. That quote is Ms Mahlatsi’s own unsupported and reckless assumption, which ignores the timeline of events and, once again, that the official cause of the explosion is still subject to investigation.
