This is the roof top which residents erected structures on top of the building which caught fire early hours of this morning in Jeppestown.Two of them were recovered on the first floor and the other two on the second floor.are suspected to be the cause of the blaze. City of Johannesburg Emergency Management Services spokesperson Robert Mulaudzi says the building was never habitable.
“The building is an abandoned building, there is a lot of partitions and sheet metals, which the residents have been using to divide the building. This area where we are is actually an industrial site, so they actually divide it with those partitions using those sheet metals to divide the whole building, so that they can be able to reside. So, the building is not a residential area, but it’s an abandoned building.
One resident claims to have been living in this building for more than 20 years and says she has nowhere to go.
