Was anyone at the celebrations organised by Africell last night where persons lost their lives in the pushing & subsequent stampede?
A friend lost her life after falling and died after being trampled on. May she rest in perfect peace.

Sab, thanks for the information. I have just got a confirmation about the incident. My condolences to families and friends, may the departed souls rest in peace.

This tragedy took place near the Africell building where huge crowds had gathered in Mosque Road from the 'big tree' down to Kariaba Ave awaiting the result of the Africell mobile-phone lottery.
Three women and one man lost their lives.

a sad read sab, and a bad time to farewell family members while in good health. Tragedies are truly blind. You still have a chance to help your friend -ps. do your best for the kids.
happy new year love (sab)

I hope the policing wasn't like during a beres hammond gig a few years ago when they allowed large crowd to gather in a small area then fired tear gas.
