A man using a trailer mounted platform in Cape Town, South Africa died when it is thought the boom collapsed.
The 31 year old man – an employee of City Flag company – was putting up flags advertising next week’s State of the Nation address by president Jacob Zuma’s in the city.
There are very few confirmed details at the moment, but police said that the man died after the boom collapsed, throwing him head-first into the street.
More information will be added when available.
