ANC after this will turn the back just like Durban😢

The building was declared unsafe. Squatting illegally to get out the cold. Rip 😢
Wait….Doors and Fire escape was closed? So these people were trapped?
There is no housing crisis. Illegal foreigners have hijacked many builders in Johannesburg. It has become a slum. No law n order here. Elec n water connections r also illegal. The legal owners have no control over their own properties.
Nothing of value was lost
Prayers
Kelly Cobiella thyroid is abnormally enlarged on one side. She needs to have it looked at if she has not already done so. I was lucky enough to catch thyroid cancer early thanks to a small but noticeable bulge on the left side of my throat. Catching it early meant 1/3 of my thyroid remains and functions. Waiting too long could result in losing the entire thyroid and/or the cancer spreading. Good luck.
So sad😢
too bad may the deceased souls rest in peace this is so sad
Fire alarms?
बहुत ही दुखद समाचार है ईश्वर अपनों को खोने वाले परिवारों को धैर्य धारण करने की शक्ति दे ओर अपनी जान गंवाने वाले लोगों कि आत्मा को शांति प्रदान करे
Thank you for keeping the reporting upbeat. I hate when people pretend to care
Exactly why it is not safe to allow squatters in buildings. Take note America
