Building under construction collapses in George

Be interesting to know if George has an actual (structural ideally) engineer in their set up.

Lawyers be licking their chops.

Liatel most likely subcontracted the construction works to another contractor.

This will be interesting.

I guess the narrative over this is another example of BEE gone wrong have quietly died.

George mayor Leon van Wyk said he did not know the developers, engineers and contractors responsible for the site, despite his office being opposite where the tragic incident happened. “Unfortunately, I don’t know those names at this stage,” he told a Daily Maverick reporter.

“I think we need to establish [the names] from the Department of Labour. I personally do not know.”

Municipal manager Dr Michele Gratz agreed with the mayor, adding the current focus of the authorities was on rescuing the trapped workers.

Leon and Michele spinning yarns that only an idiot will believe
 
I'm also curious. Does George not have a Building Inspector whose job it is to inspect all construction through the phases? :unsure:
