The aircraft was being taxied to "C Apron" from parking area " M Apron" between Runway 03L and SAA Technical, crossed the grass covered perimeter and ploughed through a 2.2m high brick wall. The aircraft had no or little hydraulic power for steering or braking. The nosegear then went down an embankment and the aircraft bottomed out on the rubble.
