A 19-year-old man was killed while working at Portland Cement Factory
in Makata industrial area in Blantyre last week after being crushed by
machinery. Steven Smart from Dambo Village, Nsanje, was working as a
labourer at the cement company and was killed as he was during the
morning shift. Police spokesman Willie Mwaluka said Smart entered the
mill after it broke down to remove some materials for maintenance
people to do repair work properly. He said the machine started
functioning while Smart was still inside.
