The 42-year-old truck driver sustained serious injuries when the truck they were travelling in overturned.

A 30-year-old female passenger died and a 42-year-old truck driver sustained serious injuries when the truck they were travelling in overturned on the notorious Apples bend as they were descending the Town Hill section of the N3 outside Pietermaritzburg on Saturday morning, paramedics said.

“The container they were transporting was apparently flung across the oncoming highway,” ER24 spokesman Ross Campbell said. ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene at 6.35am to find the driver “hanging out the windshield” and the passenger trapped. “The woman unfortunately showed no signs of life and was declared dead on arrival. The driver required advanced life support interventions before being taken to Mediclinic Pietermaritzburg,” Campbell said.

Zimbabwean national arrested for stabbing woman to death on Joburg streetPolice have arrested a 25-year-old Zimbabwean man for allegedly stabbing a woman to death in the Johannesburg CBD on Sunday morning. This kind of journalism on naming a nationality when the crime might not have anything to do with that is what fuels xenophobia and 'Othering' Could it be common that Zim guys often commit these vicious attacks in general? Three days ago there was an article about a school boy being stabbed in day light & some twitterians were quick to point a finger to Zim guys & some1 was annoyed about fingers pointing at Zim guys. WTF kind of photograph is this.
