Very tragic

A 63 year old vessel (NOT 40 years as per this report) - not well looked after - Will Not be surprised if more of the old rust buckets of Viking Fishing go the same route. All about the bottom line - May those who lost their lives Rest In Peace

This will be a total cover up by Viking Fishing. It was a mechanical failure. They will probably blame the skipper that went down with the ship.

The DA had advertised this futureristic technology which the Cape Town municipality can use to have view of Cape Town and easy track suspects taking off with their cars. Why can’t they use it?

But Cyril comments his sadness at the loss of Irans tyrant not these brave men feeding the nation

[@gavapalmer9597]

Iran's tyrant? Was he not voted in by a majority? Really? Educate yourself please!

[@Julian.watchingyt]

@@gavapalmer9597 Yes a tyrant! Yes a tyrant voted in under a corrupt system. Yes I am educated on Iran, I have friends from University there. Yes, they are celebrating his death. Google pictures of Iran and its people before it was taken over. Even in mainstream news you see people celebrating his death. I have 5 degrees including 2 Hons and 1 master. You educate yourself a little palmer

@@gavapalmer9597 Hitler was elected democratically, Chavez and Maduro was elected democratically in Venezuela, Assad in Syria, Kim family of North Korea, Castro was elected as well, and how could we forget Mugabe of Zimbabwe fame. So so many examples. All of them Ideologues.
