It has now been confirmed by Tarina Klokow, who is the General Manager of Logistic Refrigerated Services at Hestony, that the truck was never destined for Emam but rather was on it's way to a client in the Eastern Cape when the accident happened.
Wherever this truck was heading, we can definitely say this isn't something you see every day.
