The Department of Employment and Labour’s public commission of inquiry into the fatal 2018 explosion at Cape Town's Rheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM) is set to resume in Cape Town today following an adjournment in May.

During the commission hearings at the Macassar Civic Centre in May, 13 witnesses were cross-examined, and the evidence gathering exercise was completed a day ahead of schedule.

During those hearings, safety and environment manager Thembeka Ganda said that because no employees at the accessing facility at the time of the explosion survived, some assumptions had to be made based on the available evidence, and as such, exactly what happened would never be known with 100% certainty.

The eight fatalities of the explosion were: 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. This time around, the hearings will be held at Community House in Salt River from 9am to 4:30pm daily until Thursday, October 22, and 17 witnesses are lined up to give evidence.
