A group of 🇿🇦 South African scientists has pleaded for help, saying they are trapped in an isolated base on a cliff edge in Antarctica with a team member who has become violent.

One of the team has been accused of assault and threatening violence against his colleagues, according to the South African newspaper The Sunday Times. South Africa's environment minister confirmed that an assault had taken place.

One of the researchers reportedly sent a pleading email last week claiming a member of the team had attacked them and was issuing further threats.

The email, seen by The Sunday Times, said: “Regrettably, [his] behaviour has escalated to a point that is deeply disturbing. Specifically, he physically assaulted [X].”

“Furthermore, he threatened to kill [X], creating an environment of fear and intimidation. I remain deeply concerned about my own safety, constantly wondering if I might become the next victim,” the unnamed researcher added.

The author was concerned about the colleague's "increasingly egregious behaviour" and demanded that they take urgent action to protect both themselves and the team.

The email continued: "I am having a lot of trouble feeling safe in his presence."

Dion George, South Africa’s environment minister said he will personally speak with the team to assess the situation.

He told The Sunday Times: “There was a verbal altercation between the team leader and this person. Then it escalated and then that person did physically assault the leader. You can imagine what it’s like, it is close quarters and people do get cabin fever. It can be very disorientating.”

Mr George likened the conditions for the team in Antarctica to astronauts in space.

The scientists based at Sanae IV include experts in oceanography, biology, geology and geomorphology.

Space travelling, that's one of the issue we could be facing. For people to get along when they are in secluded place

May the Mercy of GOD speak for them and save and DELIVER them.

Listen! These are the End of the Endtimes where crazy things are ripping through the Earth.
In times of Trouble, Grammars will not Save you.
In times of Trouble, your so called Expertise will not Save you.
In times of Trouble, your financial capacity could be useless.

THE one and only Guaranteed way to be Saved is to call on The LORD JESUS CHRIST! The Name above All Names.

Cry out for Mercy and Call on the Name of JESUS CHRIST.
HE ALONE IS THE Means by which Humanity can be Saved! Here in Earth and in Eternity!

Meanwhile,
SOUTH AFRICAN AIR FORCE HAS COLLAPSED

Over 98% of SAAF aircraft are grounded - only 6 out of 330 are operational due to lack of maintenance funds.


But money to drag ISRAELI leaders into international courts - the corrupt ANC government has….

Only one person is going insane? Other sane people there should either cage him/her, immobilize the man or allow the man to kill all of them

The team leader shud have a thorough conversation with him.
He shud calmly understand his perspective. Where it is not reasonable to d team, they shud adopt reverse psychology.
.... Then they shud wait for intervention.
