If it was black government area we would hear them talking about 30% pass rate as the cause. The children of the construction company , their spouse and the school they attend will be all over the place. People would be harassed because of their parents mistakes

@ craigclifton7254 just like you are preconditioned to say Blacks are the only one who can produce this low standard of work. If it happened anywhere in the country outside DA lead government you would notice the racial slur from whites in South Africa. ANC has been blamed for building catching fire in CBD of JHB. Why blame ANC but we can’t blame DA here? If this disaster happened every white person would be making noise about 30%pass mark as the cause. Now that it’s in DA lead government you are not saying those things. So let’s see the name of the company owners and if they have construction degrees or experience as is always asked when it’s black company involved. We need to investigate if any of this directors are not linked to anyone in DA headquarters. I don’t care what you think about me this is how South African whites behave

Buildings don't collapse like this on itself. Something was structurally wrong.
All I can see from the pics is a lot of loose bricks and powdered mortar. Someone skimped on cement.
This should never have happened.Have they been taking short cuts in the building??First time I,have ever heard of this happening,should never happen again.!!!

Hi. Construction Mafia perhaps.
Unbelievable who designed the building who is the contractor who is the project manager thus is murder not negligence. The building collapsed. Now rather than later what a disaster. Should be Documented fully and used as a model for what shoule never be don on a building site
Father in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour., we approach your throne of grace, bringing before you every unaccounted construction worker for protection and ask to give peace and comfort to the families. We plead the blood of Jesus over them and pray Psalm 91 for them, we thank your Holy Spirit to provide comfort, counsel, help, intercede, protect strengthen and stand by them in this time of uncertainty, saddness, grief and sorrow.. In Jesus name Amen.

Haibo but if it was outside DA government every white person would be blaming ANC. ANC remove people who hijacked buildings and NGO takes the government of the ANC to court to protect criminals who hijacked the building. Five years down the line the hijacked building catches fire and people die , every white person blame ANC for incompetency and everything under the sun.Hellen Suzman takes government to court to protect illegal activity. Today something happens in Western Cape or must I say under DA lead government media doesn’t paint the same picture of incompetent DA. White people would be online telling us we deserve everything because we voted ANC government . I don’t see the same energy and appetite because it’s DA lead government

Hey anc may be behind this who knows...its unknown how this happened and why!!
Media and certain people are silent. If it was ANC lead government we would see racial slurs and people making noise about the engineers and 30% pass rate which in hindsight means blacks are involved and incompetent. But now that is in DA lead government we don’t see people demand name of the construction company, names of the engineers so that they can Google them and see how they qualified and who they know in Luthuli house. We need to know who is connected to who in DA lead government and did they check their qualifications . We want to know if owners of the company have construction qualifications

You never say the same when white people are racial about everything and anything. We see this type of comments everyday when blacks are involved. Qualifications are questioned. Black lives are cheap bro we only pray if we suspect non blacks might have been involved other than that you would have assumed I voted for ANC on the basis that I am black. You would have told the world that black South African they deserve it because they voted ANC. The same media would be calling names and the children of those involved so that they can be harassed. Whites are taught to numb their feelings towards black pain and suffering so get over yourself

The building was near completion .What if this building collapsed after it was already occupied. Scary to see how the standards of safety and workmanship has dropped to such an unacceptable low level , like every thing else that has deteriorated under the powers that be ... safety and properly qualified builders and engineers should not be one of the areas to compromise on properly qualified workers and workmanship and safety. THERE ARE STRICT RULES AND LAWS THAT REGULATES THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY..... How did this happen.
