Supervisor �could be liable� for TNMC employee death

The inquest stems from Raditsebe’s death on June 15 in a freak bulldozer accident. The 30-year-old was reportedly working on a 50-metre high waste dump and sustained extensive injuries, including a deep laceration on the thigh, when the bulldozer overturned and rammed into nearby fences.

TNMC completed an investigation into his death last year and the case subsequently debuted at the Francistown Magistrate Court this February. Speaking at the inquest, prosecutor Tebogo Masala told Chief Magistrate Gaedupe Makgatho, that Raditsebe’s supervisor might be liable for the death. He added that tests had been completed on the Komatsu bulldozer the late worker was using at the time of the accident.
