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

Mr Ramaphopsa. If the the biggest problem we face in this county is unemployment. Especially amongst the youth. How is it possible 90% of workers are foreigners? 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

It is not hidden. There was a full professional team involved on the site. The company owner generally hire sub-contractors, and they hire workers, legal or illegal. Normal practise. 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.
