ER24 spokesperson, Russel Meiring says the man's fellow workers were left in shock when the incident occurred.
Meiring says it took emergency services quite a while to recover his body which was buried in the rubble.
"After some time, the man was unfortunately found that he had succumbed to his multiple injuries. Nothing more could be done for him and he was then declared dead on scene. Local authorities will be investigating the matter further," he said.
