The inquiry into the 2015 Grayston Drive pedestrian and cyclist structural bridge collapse in Johannesburg, which left two people dead and 19 others injured, will resume on Tuesday, the Department of Labour said.

“The Department of Labour-appointed-M1/Grayston Drive Pedestrian and cyclist structural bridge Inquiry will continue tomorrow (02 August 2016) after a week’s recess with testimony from Form-Scaff,” said acting Department of Labour spokesperson Mokgadi Pela in a statement on Monday.

Form-Scaff provides an array of products and services to a range of construction and civil engineering industries. Pela said a witness expert from the company, will take the stand on Tuesday.

The Commission rounded its previous work a week ago with a site visit to the scene of the fatal accident on the M1/Grayston bridge.

Murray & Roberts had made a presentation to the Commission in which it presented a number of models it had designed, in a bid to convince the Commission to provide it with the permission to start the reconstruction of the bridge.

The Department of Labour set-up the Section 32 Inquiry to uncover the causes of the collapse of scaffolding works into the Grayston Drive Pedestrian and cyclist structural bridge.

The inquiry was set up after the 14 October 2015 collapse of the temporary bridge structure across the M1 near the Grayston Drive off ramp. The bridge collapsed onto cars passing underneath killing two people and injuring 19 others.

The Section 32 investigation, presided by Lennie Samuel, and assisted by Lesibe Raphela is being held in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act.

The Inquiry is being held at the Department of Labour offices (Labour Centre) at Concillium Building, Nana Sita Street (formerly Skinner Street) and Thabo Sehume Street (Andries Street) in Pretoria, Tshwane.

Pela said the inquiry would break on election day, Wednesday 3 August, and resumes on Thursday. It will continue until Friday.
