Wheelchair-Bound Man Relates Railway Horror

Ramolaise, who stays outside campus, narrated in a telephone interview how last month his wheelchair got stuck on a railway line that passes through the village. He said it was not the first time that he has experienced the ordeal, saying the way the level crossing is built is not user-friendly for the wheelchair-bound traveller. He said his wheelchair often gets entangled in the rail slippers and that can be quite a nightmare. He counts himself lucky that no speeding train has ever found him stranded between the rail tracks.
"In many cases I was lucky that passers-by came to my rescue by extricating me and my wheelchair from the spot," he said. 

Ramolaise, who hails from Molepolole, claimed that despite accommodation on campus being available, he was ordered at short notice to leave Camphill premises to find accommodation in the village.
