Randfontein Herald reports that one man died and three others were injured following an explosion at a cooking oil factory on Main Reef Road in Robinson, on the West Rand.
Benny Mohlabeng, Randfontein Fire Department chief, confirmed that one of the plants had exploded and added: “At this stage, we cannot conclude what exactly led the plant to explode, as we are still investigating this tragic incident. Unfortunately, a young man passed away, and three other victims were transported to hospital to be treated for their injuries.” The deceased was apparently an operator at the company.
