At least that\u2019s what one resident from the hundreds of Video Center Informal Settlement’s black squatters thought who were allowed to gather cement that spilled as a result of a truck overturning.<\/p>\n
The truck, transporting cement, overturned on the N14 on-ramp to Beyers Naud\u00e9 Drive early yesterday, 18 August, morning leaving only the diver injured.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can now continue building our house,\u201d the man said while his wife held open a bag full of cement.<\/p>\n
The Joburg Metro\u2019s Fire Department, Mogale City\u2019s Traffic Department and Disaster Management Team were on the scene along with an ambulance who transported the driver.<\/p>\n
By noon, the Fire Department covered the diesel spillage while amused by the Video Center residents who filled bags and buckets to the brim with cement.<\/p>\n
