[hellfire]

A Johannesburg building, in which a blaze claimed the lives of three firemen last year, will soon be no more.

The Gauteng provincial government says the Bank of Lisbon building will be imploded on Sunday.

The decision comes after a structural assessment on the building was conducted, following the fatal fire in September 2018.

The 31-storey building is situated at 37 Pixley ka Isaka Seme Street, in Johannesburg central.

It seriously looks like a Michael Bay scene

Nobody cares if the government or SOEs are mismanaged but imploding a building in the CBD takes a lot more IQ which is probably why everything worked perfectly.
