Legal action threatened over deadly fire in Johannesburg
Gauteng Housing MEC Nomvula Mokonyane says legal action may be taken against the owners of the building in the Johannesburg city centre where a fire cost twelve people their lives on Wednesday. The fire started in a deserted factory on the corner of Commissioner and Nugget streets. Some 33 people were injured. Mokonyane says legal action will be taken if negligence is proved on the part of the owners of the building. Police have since opened an inquest docket into the fire, while waiting for forensic experts to determine the cause.
