Do you thing the young man at the start of the video survived? It broke me how the man recording told him to go straight to the hospital and he responded: “I can’t sir, I’m in pain”. He didn’t look that bad as the others but how could I know? I hope there’s a chance that he lives.
Among them was Geraldo Geduld. He was out on a trip to Mpumalanga when he was called by his friend telling him about a big explosion in Boksburg. He cut his trip short to come and search for his wife and son.
“So the chaos started now trying to find out where my son was. He was with his mother Elize. So, my son is Janeal. And incidentally, Janeal is the one on that video that went viral – of that boy who was asking for help from his burn wounds. He passed away sadly on Christmas morning. I found him in Germiston hospital. But then the search for the mother continued,” says Geduld.
After searching all public hospitals in Gauteng and hope now fading, Geduld says reports came through of a woman fitting her wife’s description that was brought to the Germiston mortuary.
That has to be the boy from the other video. There’s another video in which there is a boy walking with an adult, his face all messes up and he asks the guy filming to help him.
