One man died and nine other occupants were left with multiple injuries when the Nissan 1400 bakkie rolled

Be careful about high-speed driving on old tyres.

dd thats nothing new with that lot.They should have hung themselves up on one of those thorn bushes.NO grey matter -- half ton bakkie [ute] ten passengers 100kg each --what do you get? In their case always place for one more.The tyres they use --second hand sold along the road --which are old tyres that that have been re-grooved [not retreaded].The other thing is they dont really worry about pressures.BIG balls-up is our road laws.You must have a licence BUT how you get it well thats another story. NO compulsory insurance but after the street racing accident they stop the guys for mods etc etc.THIS is what you get when you have one of those brain dead presidents--no wonder countries don't want to do business here [besides our mickey mouse currency] which is almost junk status

The article is titled "Test drive ends in mayhem" and is dated May 7 2013 at 01:28pm

I also noted that there were at least 3 people in the cabin..... they must have been skinny!

I hope no-one else died and it seems a pity the car was wrecked for the sake of a tyre

dude yes i mean what i say and say what i mean.Do you know south africa at all or have you ever been here.I should actually ask you if you are one of the 'south african refugees' that has fled the country cos i hear there's quite a lot in OZ and NZ.The refugees always answer from the other side.Check out this example -- lots of cars here with kiwi fern and all blacks [sticker]--ask him why?---answer cos they all black lol.I would like to inform you that i have lived under both gov's 30yrs the old and 20yrs new with no help from either so i can see the diff.I run my own show and owe nobody.OH and i'm not running anywhere [no refugee status for me]OH just remember sanctions fell away in '94 -- new gov-- all good and thereafter downhill.SOOoo dude if you offended by what i've said thats your problem.My exp.parcels,containers,tourism,transport [all types]and general business is the reason i wrote the above.LIKE IT OR LEAVE IT

Weirdly enough the front tyre burst not the rear ones!
I reckon lucky no more casualties than one and also
interesting to say went for a test drive with halve
the town in the rear when its rated 500kg max.
Re-grooving tyres takes another meaning in Soufrika!
The salvaged A series will carry another 10 mil peeps

I work with a Yarpy who moved here in '06.
Sounds like a nice place. It would have been paradise before it went to the pack.
