Romero Hector calls for accountability
WIDOWER Commander Romero Hector is preparing a civil claim while the Hawks investigate the SAS Manthatisi submarine tragedy two years ago, citing that the Board of Inquiry (BOI) recommended that the captain face 12 charges relating to negligence.
During an interview with the Cape Argus yesterday, Hector, who is a senior navy officer revealed that the 1105-page report of the BOI was a true reflection in its entirety of what transpired on September 23, 2023 and called for accountability.
He cited that there was mismanagement and negligence including a submarine which had just been serviced and not authorised properly, weather warning ignored and outdated equipment.
Hector claimed that Chief of the Navy Vice-Admiral Monde Lobese had misled the public when he said no one was responsible for the tragedy and that a freak wave had been the cause.
