Horror accident on railway line
 
2011-05-05


A horrific accident took place in Mbekweni at 09:00 on Wednesday morning, when two young children aged between two and three wandered onto the railway line and were hit by a train.

The tragedy occurred in the extremely poor area of OR open space, about 500 metres from Mbekweni station. Here almost a 1000 shacks have been erected illegally next to the railway line.

The boys, Ayadulla Buda (3) and Owan Msalela (2), were reportedly playing when they landed up in front of the train.

The scene was so disturbing that arrangements were being made for the police officers who managed the scene to receive counselling.
