MK Airlines B747 Tyre Burst at FAJS !

Hi
Yesterday as we were to depart , a cargo B747 of MK Airlines while departing Runway 03L had tyre burst and left lot of debris which necessitated runway closure for 45 mins.
Some aircrafts unable to use shorter runway 03R had to turn back to the gates while those able had to taxy slowly giving way to landing traffic as joburg came down to single runway operation.
I do not know the destination of the aircraft but it continued with the flight and not sure of their landing thereafter as it never returned back to FAJS.
Any Information ?
