If it was 3 billionaires, the whole world can be stopped turning to get them out in 1 day. Especially since we know where they are… right there.

@ZenoDiac

Why did it collapse?

@nahwaalebrahim1942

Who is responsible for this… I still haven't heard who the developer is.

Oh Father have mercy on the families that lost their loved ones. May you be their advicate so they sre not cheated and bullied. May the st least get proper care for the trauma and compensation to bury their loved ones with dignity. This is so sad and heartbreaking. No one deserves to die like that

@Naledi_22

The company should be able to account for who was on the site on the day of the collapse, who are they? and where they are from? as well as have next of kin contact details. But because we are dealling with mafia's who refuse to do things by the book to cut costs we have this situation right now. Very tragic.

@engeladreyer4967

😢😢

I still cannot believe it took them more thn 1 week to remove tht building while knowing thr are people who might be alive and bodies can decompose 😢

There's no volume it's quite

Sincere condolences to all 😢

@Real_RSA

Hire proper and qualified people to do the work and inspect the work. This should be the country's lesson. No mlre foreign employment in this country. UK and USA is waiting for them

@Argosy16

Condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones 🙏 😔 😢.

16.1 , 16.2 are definitely going to jail.

@user-jx7dz4ft1g

It doesn't matter where they come from they are human and were doing work to put food on the table.

@siyabongamkhonza7287

This is what happens when you deliberately ignore qualified personnel and hire incompetence to cut costs.

@KachiluwuoneEmmanuel

keep searching

@hannelizeventer5609

😭 God's grace and peace to everyone helping on that site🤗🙏

@charliecane3621

Man that's horror.
