    wow, do we know when the building was constructed? in america, recently also there was a huge apartment building/tower collapse. "On June 24, 2021, at approximately 1:22 a.m. Champlain Towers South, a 12-story beachfront condominium in the Miami suburb of Surfside, Florida, United States, partially collapsed, causing the deaths of 98 people." from wikipedia

I work in construction and this is the case on most private projects. Why cant we employ south africans first? If the unions are the problem then deal with it like the British prime Minister did in the 80s

He may not even be at fault for anything. Yet because he is white is chastised and the media is more interested in the Department of Home Affairs mistakes.
