  1. Oh people of South Africa. Your government is working hard to stand with the Palestinian people and stop the war currently taking place in Gaza. This is a beautiful thing. But regarding the war that is taking place in Sudan in general and Darfur in particular, it has a dangerous nature. You do not know what is happening in Darfur. There are tribes that claim Arabism and are the main component of the Rapid Support Forces in proportion. (95%). The Rapid Support Forces and the Janjaweed (Arab tribes) are killing African ethnic groups in Darfur, then forcibly displacing them, raping women and girls, and killing males of African ethnic groups. Now they have been able to control 4 states completely. They are also trying to control the last city in Darfur, El Fasher, which has become a refuge. The last for the African tribes.. Therefore, you, as Africans, must put pressure on the Rapid Support Forces and the Arab tribes allied with them before it is too late, because the African ethnicities are in dire need of standing with them.

  2. WHY HAS THE PUBLIC NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN EXCAVATIONS. EVEN IF JUST BEING HANDED MATERIAL BY THE CREW. IT WOULD HAVE FREED UP MORE EXPERIENCED CREW TO REMOVE RUBBLE, IN A CAREFUL WAY, AND VOLUNTEERS TAKING IT OFF SITE. Instead of solely relying on rescue teams to do all the work. RED TAPE BS
    If it smells like a dead rat….there’s a political agenda…. A lot more could have been safely and securely done…
    Not judging the emergency personnel at all. Judging the regulations put in place by people who actually have zero experience or knowledge in the field. Rescue operations can manage civilians who want to help in an orderly fashion if they wanted to. Who called the shots? I WANT TO KNOW! A little bird said the workers were mostly illegals….is it true? And if so, do we now regard human life according to their passport status?! Come on journalists….start digging

  3. Why u ANC puppet have to say , Western Cape, Garden Route in your response? A political move? At the detriment of lost souls? Nobody needs a govt official commenting on this tragic loss . As i said he hasn't a clue what the families are going through. He resembles ET, so go home ET and stop preying on vulnerable people

  4. Hi. Deepest sympathies to the bereaved. May thier loved one's rest in peace. Sad that Cyril and the ANC just see this as another oppotunty to canvas and say the lives of South Africans are better and we will call on Bheki Cele the minister of sympathy to investigate a case of racism. People lost thier loved ones…friends..breadwinnes.. confidants ..role models.ect.and the ANC will only look to this as an opportunity to make money from it..i.e. tenders to rebuild it..which will never happen…and tell people to report these buildings ..and still nothing will happen because…wenever there are illegal structures passed..you'll find the trail in most cases leads rite back to the ANC..thier family members or friends. ..and this is why investagations only have a small finding of evidence…not strong enough to mske a case. Let's not forget if rhier family members and friends aren't linked to any case directly…those who are reported to autborities…can just offer a streetwise 2 meal and a few thousand Rands to make evidence dissapear.

  5. Well this is terrible but its because the work quality in this country has degraded in a big big way, im a boilermaker/welder by trade for more than 45 yrs and apon seeing a elevator conveyor supported by a scafolding on this same construction site a few days ago told me alot about the engineering and artisanship going on here 👀👎, disgusting and a danger to safe living in this already fkd up country man !!! 😡

  6. I do feel sorry for the victims of this tragedy. But you the Anc…please tell us what you are doing about 75 murders per day. You the Anc…eff…pa…and all others are using this as a political event. Shame on you all.

  7. So sorry for the victims and their families. But where is Ranaphala? Saying brief condolences is not goid enough. As the first man of the country he should at least have shown his face there. But yes, perhaps he is too busy handing out free t-shirts to focus on the elections. Spineless!

  8. Smacks of BEEE from the Municipality, Structural Engineer, Contractor for not signing off the first-floor concrete level spec. No concrete crush tests were done conducted on samples from sample mixes for the first level. Prediction and some advice for the DA and the ANC, get rid of BEEE self-enrichment plan, cause that's all it does itself is enrich one individual and his Trumpian family. If you keep following this ridiculous BEEE route, more and more disasters will happen. RIP to the families.

  9. Cheap labour.

    We are told South Africans are lazy in their own country.

    When South Africans complain about illegal foreigners taking our jobs we are told we are Xynophobic, abo Nqabutho, HSF, EFF, ANC, DA needs to celebrate now n not to pretend they don't know what is happening because this is happening all over South Africa, illegal foreigners are a priority in all jobs
