- Four people have died, three others injured and three are possibly unaccounted for in the wake of a fire in an abandoned 3-storey building in Johannesburg's Jeppestown. Joburg Human Settlements MMC Mlungisi Mabaso talks about what happened and the city's state of preparedness for such tragedies.

No. They are just too lazy to do their work. And a lot of them have an interest in the highjack buildings. Useless
They lost already. Not enough resources available to get rid of the problem.
I felt that ‘arrrggghhhh’ 😂
This guy is a lost cause
Oh for fuck’s sake!!
Dom moegoes these oaks
most of us residents of SA we don't have houses u cant see us hijacking buildings and claim government must be held accountable of dis hijacked buildings . dose people create problems for themselves now government must allocate dem to have place to stay. We r a lost country honest .
If u have been to the CBD u know..
ANC FAILED JHB CBD
Why do you have interviews with the street sweapers. He has told us nothing. LOOKS LIKE WINDOW DRESSING😢😢
the battle was long ago, AT THE BORDERS
never heard a useless MMC like this one . ANC dont know what they are doing
The real problem is the eviction laws in this country. This problem would never have gotten this bad if you could simply evict someone for non-payment. These building dont get abandoned for no reason. To a point where not even metros can comply with these very same laws. But they want a normal citizen with little funds to do the same. Cause you must find the person other accommodation that they can afford, what can a homeless or unemployed person afford? So metros push these people in the front of the queue of RDP housing projects, while other people will pass on waiting. What do you as a normal landlord do if you dont have free houses just sitting around and have to still maintain a property that is not generating a income anymore? Imagine telling a restaurant they need to keep serving someone who has already said they cannot pay or telling a taxi he needs to keep transporting someone to different destinations after that person says they have no money. Its madness and then politicians act like they cant understand why the buildings are in such bad conditions and abandoned. Then it opens up the space for people to rent out a building they dont own illegally to desperate people looking for cheap accommodation and they dont need to comply with and law. If you dont pay you get beaten up and kicked out while people who is trying to do the right thing goes under because they cant keep up with repaying loans. Today government wants to complain about mafias taking over. But some of these mafias are born from their laws. Even what is happening with construction, its the very BEE laws being used
We are waiting for problems to occur. We are not employed to anticipate risks.
The battle was long lost
He is waiting for Mcpherson to take a lead. Typical. You do not know what I am trying to say.WTF .bla bla bla my boy.
You can see this guy is useless.
Every abandon building should be confiscated and controlled. Separate departments to be structured and people employed to only handle such. Most likely no rates have been paid either.
Once building is in hands of municipality renovation must be handed for low cost inner city living. Each building must be run and controlled. There is so much unemployed people out there, why not employ what is needed. You talk but dont do anything.
Home affairs and army should block the city and go through from side to side to find all these illegals and criminals you are talking about
I must be honest with you, my prayer was to have FF+Minister of Human Settlement, HOUSING, to give a break to ANC
For once, I agree with you, it has become that desperate, I believe a boer is need in Johannesburg CBD
Moegoes

Deport South Africans?
Or who do you think are responsible for highjacking those buildings?
