Johannesburg - A man was killed on Sunday afternoon in Pretoria after being impaled by iron rods in a disused building, Tshwane metro police said.

"It is suspected that the man had by-passed the security officers at the flats and was attempting to steal some iron or copper parts at the high-rise buildings situated in the west of the Tshwane CBD," spokesperson Console Tleane said in a statement.

The man, in his 30s, apparently slipped while on one of the upper floors of the Kruger Park building at about 17:30.

"He went down through to the bottom floor where he unfortunately landed on iron rods that pierced through his body," said Tleane.

The man was declared dead on the scene.

The building and the adjacent Schubart Park building, both owned by the City of Tshwane, are to be implosed after being found to be structurally unfit for habitation.

Police were investigating, Tleane said.

IronMan, you're doing it wrong.
 
If I may ask... what does it mean to implose a building
 
What a great loss! :rolleyes:

The city will now have to go to the cost of disposing of the scumbag's carcass. :(
More money wasted.

Possibly the combined cost of would be UIF/grants, the court's time and the cost of incarceration over the remaining 10 - 20 years of the recently deceased natural life nets out the disposal cost?

Good Point, although I think the cost of one bullet would have been way better.

Bit harsh, we don't know the man's background and he wasn't hurting anyone, the building seems to have been abandoned for a while as well.
30's - waste of life, but is it really if you have to fiddle around abandoned buildings for scrap to put food on the table.
 
Amazing how these 2 buildings continue to claim lives. So much for the security.
