I commend Masa Kekana. She really is a hard-hitting & bold journalist who is able to balance it with enough empathy & dignity for people deeply impacted by such devastating negligence & criminality. Hai, Masa is my fighter! ✊🏽😅

You guys are doing excellent by informing the nation of all these atrocities around us keep up the good work you are doing

The reporter in this piece is so good . A very classy assest to carte blanche. So impressed with her skills and kindness too .

Why is this man still walking free?This is negligence and irresponsibility of the highest order...so incredibly sad

This is so sad😢. I am so heart broken. As much as we want to support small businesses we must also make sure that they are compliant and know what they are doing. This is so tragic 😢.

Prayers to this family 🙏😢

Nicholas Molver was an amazing man, always there for his family. This is a tragic story, but what makes it worse is that Mr. Khan doesn't even show any remorse for what has happened (despite what his mother claims). He couldn't even apologize or seem ashamed of taking the lives of the 2 most genuine people in this world. He is just concerned about the "stress" that he is under for the murder of my cousin and his wife. He stole their lives. Mr. Khan deserves to be put in jail. If SAPS does not follow through with this arrest, it will be a disgusting injustice to Aunty Zoe, Luke, and Matthew, and every Molver family member, as well as any person who ever had the pleasure of meeting Nick and Matri. 😢

Such a beautiful couple. May their souls RIP. We need justice

Nicholas Molver is a gentleman. This is tragic. I hope the family get justice for this negligence. Condolences to the family

Heartbreaking! 💔I hope justice is served and people learn from this tragedy.

Nic 😢 Lost a friend because of absolute criminal negligence. Hoping for justice for his family ❤

What a strong mother❤️

Truly heartbreaking 😢. I hope the family gets the justice they deserve. Shows like this help us know what to lookout for.

Hold the landlord and rogue fumigator accountable

This is tough because if you hire a company to do a job for you, you trust that they are the experts, they know what they are doing, and that they comply with all the laws. But I guess the onus is still on you to check. May the young couple rest in peace.

This is very sad and eye-opening at the same time.

absolute tragedy

Shocking and dreadful that two beautiful young people should have been killed by criminal carelessness. Misuse of deadly chemicals in an apartment building is clearly a matter for the police and the courts, and I hope this hard-hitting Carte Blanche investigation brings the Molver family the justice they so urgently need. Deepest condolences to the family and friends of Matri and Nicholas.

Matri, and Nicolas, my dear colleagues.... We know each other since the day we together joint the company.. You guys from engaged lovers to married couples, I was all the way informed by Matri... God will always be with you guys, same as my missing, same as my love to you....... Danny, your forever Chinese friend.........

Why has Ershaad Khan (who appears to live on Soofie Saheb Road in Durban North) and the owner of Flat 32 not been arrested and charged? Where is the justice?

Very useful information. Thank you

😢sad and painful, MTSRIP.

Criminal proceedings must take place

Didn’t know how dangerous fumigation is until I watched this short video clip

Interesting, thank you for this. Siyafa amaphela eDurban and other inserts, I will pay special attention when i look for a person to furmigate.

😢 deepest condolences to the family,

Very sad story

I would love for her to take on my investigation in my sons passing and case.

There were many cases like this in Dubai a couple of years ago. The Dubai authorities stepped in quite strongly to fix the problem, I can’t remember exactly but certain fumigants were made illegal and pest control companies have to be licensed. It was very upsetting because whole families perished because the poisonous gasses travelled through air conditioning ducts. It’s very sad all my condolences to the family and I hope they get justice.

I am a registered pest control operator that does practical training for those seeking to apply for registration with the department of agriculture. I am concerned that many unscruprious individuals with a PCO registration that ate signing of those wanting to apply for a PCO registration for an amount of money without them having done any practical training . This is an illegal and dangerous practice that needs to be investigated and stopped by the department of agriculture. Those found guilty should face a jail sentence

Justice must be served. This is so so so sad!!!

And unfortunately our state has got a backlog of 8 YEARS to do some basic testing. Talk about useless. Absolute uselessness. Wishing the family peace during the difficult time. I hope they get justice.

This is very sad.

this is highly unfortunate.

This is so heart breaking. This seems to happen often? Wasn't there a similar case of two children in Port Elizabeth?

So sad 😔

How very sad

So sad

My heartfelt condolences to the family. Sheer ignorance by the workers employed & greed are both on display. The excessive amount used & quick strewing of the pellets is absolutely apparent. I am appalled. Residents in the flat block should always be notified that fumigation is in process with sign boards indicating which flat/apartment is being treated & which firm is involved plus the safety period. involved. Aluminium Phosphide'. A fumigant used for the control of pests in stored agricultural food products, maize, wheat, sorghum, groundnuts, soya beans, sunflower seed, barley, oats, rye, nuts, dried fruit, tobacco and farinaceous products, (as well as rodents), with a low residual effect according to the manufacturers.

Horrifying !

This sort of thing, where un- or underqualified fly-by-night operators cause irreparable harm, is the direct result of the ANC’s spectacular failure to sustain and grow the South African economy; more correctly, it’s the ANC’s spectacular success at shrivelling the economy through corruption, theft, incompetence, apathy, and conceit. As a matter of fact, said fly-by-nights have taken many of their crooked cues from the ANC’s standard practices. When people are struggling and hungry, they will resort to any means to survive. This is not to excuse their conduct, merely to illuminate its origins.

😢

Blimey!!

This is a sad story. I do not think blaming the owner of unit 32 is fair nor just. When you seek service from a service provider, you do not necessarily need to know the tools of trade. Otherwise, you might as well do it yourself.

Terrible incident but I think it's the regulators who need to ensure players in a specific space are registered

...the thought occurred to me: in South Africa, does it matter - life? :(

💐

Welcome to South Africa. Not allowed to use in residencial...Also dont throw 200 tablets down in a 50sq apartment 0.o Mr Khan.

😢😢😢😢

Hunt them down and well done to you and the team.

Am sorry for their loss but this highlights that living near a lot of lunatics out there is a problem that's I hate town houses or complexes I prefer a stand alone house where No1 is near me

This is very hard swor really

EISH. VERY TRAGIC INDEED.
