>"At World's Strongest Man, set in Gaborone, Botswana, a number of locals were in the area helping with the production and setup aspect of the event. Many of the spectators as well had come from all around Africa to view the titanic strongmen compete in feats of superhuman strength. During a routine setup of one of the loading events, a local worker was applying screws to a framework meant to hold a 275lb anvil. Four times World's Strongest Man winner, American Brian Shaw was standing by, watching closely. A number of times he stopped the worker to give him instruction, and stood by making sure the task was done to his standard."
>"Later, Shaw was reportedly overheard saying, 'You just can't trust them with tools,' to another strongman, who seemed to be listening uncomfortably."
