- The death toll in the George building collapse now stands at 32, with 20 people still unaccounted for. The Deputy Minister of International Relations, Alvin Botes, has appealed for financial assistance from the public to help repatriate the bodies of foreign nationals killed in the George building collapse.
Representatives from the high commissions of Zimbabwe and Malawi are also in George to meet with family members of the victims and oversee the repatriation process. According to Botes, repatriation is not covered by consular support services covered by DIRCO. Eighty-one people were on site when the building collapsed last Monday.

Shouldn’t the employers who knowingly break the law take responsibility for thsese people ?
Shouldn't the developers at least be held accountable for the cost of the medical care in George Hospital for those workers that were injured and have survived, as well as the repatriation of the deceased, but, oh wait they can't even be reached, been totally MIA during this recovery process, and have still made no public appearance, nor statement after this disaster, most definitely something fishy going on here, I suppose the investigations will eventually bring all to light...
There is no budget for that. Which is why they opted for cheaper slave labour.
According to the companies act the court could lift the limited liability and hold the directors jointly and severally liable in case of fraud or reckless trading
You trust in SA investigations
Why are so many of those people foreign citizens? Why not employ S Africans?
South African workers must ask that question to their government and themselves!
How can you cry for a job that resulted in the death of so many people, if you working at that site you could be a victim also.
Cheap labour most of these people aren’t even qualified there’s a video of a 19 year old girl mixing cement and that wasn’t even her job she was one of the cleaners. For someone to get people from other places is way way cheaper instead of hiring professionals also they say the owner of the company that was building the place just disappeared few hours after the collapse
It's everywhere there's few south Africans in hard labor jobs ....people prefare grant from the government that doing hard labour jobs
I'll be honest, South Africans dont want those jobs because they are back breaking and low paying. They are always given first priority but they scoff the low pay. But the work must go on
Why is the public being asked for donations though.
I thought disasters can be covered by governments
Yes, normal governments , not SA government. They stole SA bankrupt.
For illegal immigrants? Crazy
Death knows No Borders or Status
@@Kayb-me6xv well unfortunately it does cause people are now looking for money to be buried in their borders
If the company doesnt cover the moving costs of the deceased to their respective countries, do they at least pay them a monthly stipend for a while for the families fo grieve without having a financial burden.???
Strange, we don't know who is responsible for this disaster 🤔
Ask Julius Malima to donate 😊
The public is asked for donations. Were these people invited by the public?
Where is your heart, you heartless you sound happy
Phew...you are human ey...just asking?
It's always the case, when things backfires, they remember the public.
Nothing heartless here the employer must pay whats it got to do with the public, why must it be easy on the employer they should surely know how to run a business and what protocols have to be followed, dont come worry south africans . How did these idiots ge5 the tender @@buhlemabhena3351
the building contractors should pay or the government.. close the borders. not the public!
Imagine family's were supposed to move in to that building 🙈
Just imagine 😡
So now we must help with the repatriation for people who came with the crocodile? They trying to outsmart us but they forget that nature is way smarter than them.
Where is the construction company? At least they should be helping the bereaved families to take bodies to their countries. This is a very sad situation. Condolences to the families who lost their loved ones.
Beke Cele has not sent a single word of condolence to the families of the 87 people that are murdered each day in South Africa. So the developers are just following his example. They learn from the best.
Oh! Now the Minister is asking for donations from the SA public? Who allowed the undocumented foreigners into the country. We are unemployed. Sorry Mr Dep Minister, SA public had no hand in this.
Don't be inhuman on death,,,,no one deserves to o die being legally or illegally ,,if you were European I would support you but as Africans we need to put our difference aside and feel the pain of loosing our fellow Africans in the hands of developers who made profit from using black people on unsafe building construction
@user-mg3df5gk9r so there is your answer the employer is responsible not SA public easy as pie
How does a whole building colappse on its own weight in this age of technology the contractors must explain, how they manged to built was there an inspection being done during the construction
Has Mr Ramaphosa visited George yet?
Nop, he is running away from accountability😂😂😂😂
@@hgfku-tn6hbI guess you can tell SA News from here onwards...mr reporter
@ndubanesol111 YOU DA. The project was also headed by DA people, stop blaming ANC for everything white people employed unskilled foreknowledge they gotta pay the price
Busy with elections😅
No Malema should visit the site
Their countries should pay for their repatriation.
Never really told us anything .poor reporting .
100% lack of knowledge about engineering and building..
Thats what happens when they award tenders to friends and to cheapies
Lady your math is not mathing here 😮
From 81 onside,,,61 rescued32 deceased,,12 hospitalized,,20 still missing 😢😢😢😢
Just be honest to the public on how many people really was in this building. Stop giving us false info.
Imagine 😂😂😂her math isn't mathing she sounds like a fool
@@user-js5fe5kt4j What is being said here is tragic but logical. 81 people were on site, of whom 20 are still missing. Of the remaining 61, 61 were pulled from the debris but 32 of the 61 did not survive. Therefore 29 survived, of whom 12 were hospitalised. The numbers do, in fact, add up to the total of 81 people. Such an unspeakable tragedy, and you're joking about "mathing" - really not appropriate at this time.
