Information received concerning allegations of at least 76 deaths, dozens injured, and hundreds displaced as a result of the 31 August 2023 fire of a five-story neglected building in Johannesburg’s central business district. There are concerns that the situation of the building itself, which rendered it unsafe and at risk of fire or other life-threatening situation is not an isolated incident and is amongst one of many potential cases of “hijacked buildings” (hereinafter informally occupied abandoned buildings) across the country.
Alleged victims: 400
