Spokesperson, Robert McKenzie says there was nothing they could do to save him.
"The circumstances as to why the wall collapsed are being investigated by the police. It is not exactly known how the wall, that was still under construction, collapsed. He was next to the wall when it collapsed, nine of his colleagues working around him managed to escape uninjured," he said.
