SA Airlink Embraer skids off runway at Ndola

Heard this evening that an Embraer 135 skidded off the runway at Ndola in heavy rain. The aircraft is now stuck in the mud.Ummm!! No reverse thrusters fitted to the entire fleet. Would this have happened if there were reversers on the aircraft? If you try and cut corners and save money initially its going to bite you in the long run. Anyway apparently no one was hurt but lets see what state the aircraft is in.
Should have fitted those reversers Mr Foster!!!!!!!
