Johannesburg (AFP) – South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa visits the site of a deadly apartment block fire in which at least 74 people, including 12 children, were killed on the night of 30 August. City authorities said the five-storey block in Johannesburg had been turned into illegal housing after being abandoned. “This is tragic,” Ramaphosa says, describing the incident as “a wake up call for us to begin to address the situation of housing in the inner city.”
