News24 reports that the bodies of the three City of Tshwane contractor employees who died on Friday after a trench they were working in collapsed have been recovered.
The men, aged between 20 and 35, were buried in a hole that measured approximately 6m deep and 4m wide. According to Tshwane Emergency Services spokesperson Charles Mabaso, all three bodies were recovered early on Saturday morning. Rescue technicians used two earth working machines to create stable sloped access secured with shoring equipment. The men were busy with repair work on a sewage line in Capital Park when the trench collapsed. Another employee was hospitalised with injuries while two others escaped the disaster unharmed. Mabaso said that the scene was to be handed over to the police for further investigation.
