The Eastern Cape Development Corporation CEO Ayanda Wakaba said the fire that swept through a hopelessly overcrowded hijacked building in Johannesburg recently, leading to 77 deaths, was a serious wake-up call for the organisation.
The humanitarian tragedy in the aftermath of the devastating building fire in the Joburg CBD last Thursday is still unfolding. At last count, 74 people were killed, 52 injured, and around 400 people displaced.
