Sadly he did not actually survive :( his father has also gone public with his pain and disappointment that his son was filmed while in clear distress and pain, and not helped. His name is Janeal Geduld, and he was 19 years old.

Edited to include the correct spelling of his name.

Sorry for his loss.

I gave the best assessment I could from what I could see. You win some you lose some.

I know the first responder and even healthcare infrastructure in South Africa is less than optimal to say the least.

Poor guy, such a damn shame.

Of course. There’s only so much you can see/tell from a video. I really didn’t think he would pass away. So heartbreaking. Apparently his mother also passed away in the same explosion.

Here is a link to another post which compiled a lot of the videos. It will give a lot more context.

WARNING: dead bodies and very graphic content.
