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.

    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.

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.

    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?
