George building collapse leaves builders trapped
Emergency teams worked through the night to extricate construction workers from the rubble of a collapsed multi-storey building in George on the Garden Route.
At 5.15am on Tuesday, the George municipality confirmed four people were declared deceased and 24 workers were found and are being treated, leaving 51 unaccounted for.

God help the trapped. God bless helpers.
Thoughts and prayers with all those affected, especially those families who have lost loved ones. May all those trapped be brought to safety.
Gift of the Givers are amazing👍
There needs to be an investigation into the Companies that did the structural, Architectual and the building contractors ethics. Sounds like somebody got the concrete / cement mix wrong.

True - The wrong cement mixing ratio , wrong cement strength , wrong cement product , wrong steel radius ( Thickness ) . The use of Cheap Chinese Buiding Material and Poor Quality of Import Vietnam CEMENT - Bribing of Structural Engineers and lack of Municipalty Building Inspectors. The use of unskilled illegal foreigners as cheap labour to MAXIMISE PROFITS.
Who was the architect and engineers people need to take responsibility for this
Let me guess; the construction company was rated as a five star BEE certification?

you must be 5 years old. the DA run municipality approves building plans and enforces by-laws. if the developer or contractor stuffs up, it's on them, not the DA 🤦♂️

@@Blimzio Actually, blimpie we all know the DA runs a better ship than other parties by light years. Look at all the whites on the job of rescue. It is more on the contractor overseer but the inspector of the job and testing of the crush stress strength is on the municipality. Each stage needs signing off. But hey, come play in my sandpit blimpie.

Where are the search and rescue dogs.Would help and speed up rescue services.
Where did they source the concrete from?
Why were there so many people in the building at that time? Sleeping on site?

That is a good question - 80 people is suspect. Many times the cheap labour is illegal foreigners maybe they were sleeping in the building. I wonder if the cheap labour was registered with Deprtment of labour, SARS, Work Compensation?
Black South Africans need to wake up HARD hey. The policies of this country is literally going to collapse on top of them. I hope they rescue all 40 workers. No human being needs to suffer under this ANC rule.

Exactly. There is footage of a block of Flats in China, cracked in two with gas leaks on KZread. Also apartments in the USA.
This is what happens living in a society where education is not valued and corruption is king. Sadly, it's not in SA only. I have seen footage of buildings collapsing in China and USA recently.
Malawian builders under dubious contractors. Typical
