AN ETHEKWINI Municipality supervisor died after colleagues poured petrol on him during a bee attack and accidentally set him alight, causing burns to 80% of his body.
The family are demanding accountability as allegations emerge about inadequate safety protocols and training.
On December 5, Lenny Naicker, 59, a supervisor for the municipality's parks and gardens department for 36 years, was lending support to a brush cutter team in Arena Park, Chatsworth, clearing bushes near an ashram, when he was stung by a swarm of bees.
