Cape Town - The inquiry into the fatal 2018 explosion at Cape Town s Rheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM) have been postponed to July, following the completion of the evidence gathering exercise a day ahead of schedule.
The inquiry held at the Macassar Civic Centre, was meant to have sat until yesterday, Thursday.
However, after one witness declined to appear due to a Covid-19 scare and another said they were available only today, Friday, the attorneys and presiding officer agreed the interviews would be conducted during the next round set for July 5 and 7.
Before proceedings began earlier there was a moment of silence in memory of the eight people who died in the explosion: team leader Stevon Isaacs, 51, operators Mxolisi Sigadla, 40, Bradley Tandy, 19, Jamie Haydricks, 24, Jason Hartzenberg, 22, Triston David, 22 and Thandolwethu Mankayi, 27 as well as factory supervisor Nico Samuels, 41.
Nearly three years after a deadly blast at the Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) factory killed eight people, the public inquiry got under way in Macassar.
