One Mother who lost four of her children in Saturday’s deadly tanker explosion, says she’s left beyond broken. The four siblings aged between 10 and 16 are among 15 people who lost their lives yesterday when a gas tanker exploded near the Tambo Memorial Hospital at Plantation in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni. Health Minister Dr Joe Phaahla briefed the media at the Tambo Hospital, and confirmed that the death toll had risen from 10 to 15 people, 3 are medical staff. They are part of the scores of people who were rushed to hospital after a gas tanker travelling from Richards Bay KwaZulu-Natal, to Botswana, got stuck under a bridge, caught fire and exploded near the Tambo Hospital in the area.

Government has to revise the driving rules and regulations, have points system attached to the license or cancelled for reckless driving.

No mother should have to bury their child, worse 4 at the same time. The Holy Spirit comfort this mother and other families who lost their children. This hurts💔💔💔💔💔💔
So sorry to those who lost their loved ones and those injured…also sorry for the driver cause honestly I don't think he woke that day with a intention to hurt people..if the police where there and the fire fighters were really trained then they would have called the chief of the fire department to get police on the scenes to control the people.now how do you blame the driver I was not there but I know for a fact he told people to get back.
May Allah help this family heal and stay strong 🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾
A horrific disaster. Fifteen dead, and scores injured. And more questions than answers. Condolences to all those that lost loved ones in this tragedy, just before Christmas.
It's very, heart sore to loose one child, how much more must it feel to loose 4 precious children all at once. I pray that the Father will be with you in this great los. Praying earnestly for you!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Why could that stupid driver not check first to see if the bridge was high enough, but why, did he have to travel on that road. He should be held responsible, really.
