Concrete is a very complex component… If proper knowledge of this entity is not treated properly and certain V. I. P. factors not adhered to strictly, collapses occur…
I personally feel cheap Money-grubbing shortcuts were made…
Nowadays South Africa generally has become inferior in every aspect… Lack of proper training, lack of skills abound in every field…
Pit toilets, shack dwellings, poverty-stricken areas everywhere it seems…
Sad…. Mans inhumanity to his fellow man, woman and child…
The construction company is to blame for what happened maybe it was all unqualified guys who have been employed or poor workmanship
Was it steel from china
We're the building mafias involved at this site?
Mayor talking in circles!? Has no answers!? I bet he owns the construction company!
Which company was given the tender to build this building this must be investigated are these workers qualified for erecting such a structure
Wie was die boukontrakteurs, ingenieurs ens dat 'n hele gebou sommerso inmekaar val?
I’m very sorry for the victims but considering the building standards in South Africa I can’t say I’m surprised
We pray for all. Very tragic. Thankful to all those who are involved in the rescue operation.
The construction company should have an explanation as to what happened because something happened for the building to collapsed surely didn't collapsed by itself unless it's structural integrity was undermined🤷 and that would surely point to neglecance on the contractors side for not adhering to building and construction rules isn't that a more likely explanation of what maybe could've happened?
Why is the Mayor evading the question of what caused the collapsed??? THIS IS SERIOUS AND DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY
You can't build a flat without pills
Must have a thorough investigation into the construction methods….. Very fishy. I hope the guys are rescued soon, RIP victims. 😞
I dont understand why this operation is so poorly published. For a disaster so massively large, one expects 24-hour media presence by one of our local media houses.
My brother said the building collapsed by itself nothing touched the building
Uuuum those 50 still trapped
What happened
Very sad😢 Prayers for affected families 🙏🙏
Tragic. 😢
