Johannesburg Building Fire: Several dozen lives lost in a massive blaze in downtown Johannesburg
At least 52 people have died so far in a fire in a multi-storey building in Johannesburg, South Africa’s biggest city.
Emergency Management Services said another 43 people were injured in the blaze, which broke out early on Thursday.
The building has been evacuated, and a search and recovery operation is under way.
The authorities say that the death toll is likely to rise significantly more.
At the moment, it is not immediately clear what caused the blaze.
The huge blaze on this morning has gutted a 5-storey building located in the city’s central business district, that houses informal settlements.
