Fire destroys ANC office

[LazyLion]

A fire destroyed the African National Congress constituency office in Rosebank, north of Johannesburg, the party said on Friday.

"No one was injured but important office equipment and documents have been destroyed," the office of the ANC chief whip said in a statement.

The fire broke out on Friday afternoon at the Genseg office park, the party said.

The constituency office belongs to Deputy Science and Technology Minister Michael Masutha and Gauteng MPL Errol Magerman.

"We are gravely concerned by this incident, particularly as it occurs three weeks after a break-in at the same office in which computers and important documents were stolen," the statement said.

"A few months ago a fire broke out at the [ANC head office] Luthuli House reception."

The ANC hoped the police investigation would reveal what had caused the fire and those behind the break-ins.

The party said police were conducting an investigation at the scene, and that firefighters had put out the fire.

However, Gauteng police spokesman Lt-Col Lungelo Dlamini said he was not aware of the incident.

Emergency services spokeswoman Nana Radebe could not confirm the incident either.

KFC till slips are required for claiming company expenses

Someone in the office covering their tracks. When the auditors asks they can say it's stolen and give the police case no.

My money is on this will be used as an excuse in some court proceeding for sanral, nkandla or the arms deal...

And while they're at it, they should blame it on "agents" too

This implies that they want to keep the information in-case something like a fire happened. Fire is an excellent method to destroy evidence.

That is true.

I wish the headline said "ANC fired"

 

[Lightscribe]

Reminds me of my days in Umtata...

"Oh, the police station burnt down today..."
"Again..?"
"Yes, someone needed a docket to disappear again..."
"So, take all the dockets in one go..?"
"Yes, as usual..."

Don't be silly, backups would mean that there is duplicates. We can't have duplicates, can we?

Was this fire in the same building that internet solutions host there Data Centre ?
Heard there were notifications of a fire in the Rosebank building I.S uses.

If so, wouldn’t that be a risk to anyone using a data centre that has a government office in the same building ?
otherwise it’s probably just a coincidence 2 fires on a Friday afternoon.
