Plumber loses life’s work
A WELL known local plumber has had all the tools of his trade and his company vehicle stolen.
Derek Coleman, who has worked in the area for the past 13 years, said, “I had my whole life inside that truck, and now I’ve got nothing.” Coleman went to attend an emergency in a Beach Road block of flats, in Toti, last Monday at about 7:15pm. After 15 minutes he returned to find his truck had been stolen.
Watch saves N2 motorist
A SOUTH Coast motorist’s life was probably saved by his wristwatch, which deflected a bullet fired by a youth on the N2 near Umgababa on Thursday.
The motorist, who did not want to be named, has subsequently warned other people not to stop to buy mushrooms from vendors on the side of the road, after his narrow escape. “It’s mushroom season now, and people who stop to buy them are in danger,” he said.
