A car fell on him after explosion<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now we still don\u2019t know what we can do because we are still shocked,\u201d the brother told SABC.<\/p>\n<p>He then appealed to the government to assist the family to repatriate the body of the deceased to Malawi so that the deceased should be buried in his homeland.<\/p>\n<p>Another person who also lived with Dumisani told SABC that Dumisani was a good guy who was loved by everybody.<\/p>\n<p>The gas explosion which happened around 5.30 pm in Johannesburg business district on Wednesday also injured 48 other people.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, legal expert, Jim Scholtz believes the family of the deceased man including those who sustained injuries in the Joburg CBD explosion on Wednesday stand good grounds to sue city authorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe families will have to proof that they are claiming for damages as we call it in law. So, they will need to satisfy these elements, which are wrongful faults, causation and loss. If this innocent person who was killed by a blast was a breadwinner and they depended on him, then they will have to prove that the ignition or explosion caused the death of the person. I don\u2019t think that will be too difficult,\u201d says Scholtz .<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
