The driver of a canter truck miraculously escaped serious injury when the stages slipped as a truck was disembarking the MV Malali, Thursday. The boat was floating high above the Wakenaam Ferry Stelling floor given the excessively high tides that operate at this time. Scores of residents rushed to the truck and expressed disgust as no member of the ship’s crew rendered any form of assistance. To make matters worse, one sailor began to mock a photographer who was capturing the scene.
The accident caused the boat to be delayed for almost two hours.
The question asked by many is why did those in charge allow vehicles to disembark in the face of the danger?
