Another tanker has overturned in Ekurhuleni just days after a tanker carrying liquid gas exploded in Boksburg.
On Friday, 6 January the diesel tanker overturned in Wadeville, Ekurhuleni, and emergency services officials struggled to keep people from siphoning off petrol from the truck.
Ekurhuleni EMS spokesperson William Ntladi said the tanker's trailer got unhooked and spilled diesel on the road.

“One cannot say whether it is a mechanical or human error,” Ntladi said.
Ntladi said they are ready for such incidents, and they have emergency crews on speed dial to deal with such incidents in the industrial area.
