11:02 am
a business district of south africa's economic hub, the fire engulfed this 5 story building. i live to. i 0 saw me that mila was at the scene in johannesburg for a. so the desk, so for me to has been wise english salacious. the body that the soul has risen quite sharply in just a matter of hours when the story is most broke. earlier this morning, emergency services is that set that that found the same people did. following that claim, they extinguished the fire within a couple of hours and immediately began search and recovery alterations. once the fire was out. and i know they've said that at least 64 people have been found it and it's likely that number will rise because they were just so many people living in the building behind us. we could still see a little bit of smoke coming out of that folding of but what's happened is that in the last couple of years it's leading a band and folding in. as you mentioned,
11:03 am
what was the central business district this. this was a commercial hub in johannesburg, but once businesses move out of the area, quote, things like this would take a nova by informal landlords once they were abandoned by the original owners. and that's when people move in. yeah, i was going to ask you about that. in fact, these buildings i described as hijacked buildings. mm hm. and i understand there quite a few of them in, in south africa what, what is safety like and what are the conditions like in these buildings? well that's exactly the issue around safety that is made to this incidence. they really are very few safety measures in place. we understand from the emergency services because the building was abandoned, isn't running war to there wasn't running water and if there was a tricity connection, it would have been deemed illegal, illegal connections to ensure that there's electricity in the building,
11:04 am
so not sanctioned by the city and not regulated, essentially people doing whatever they could to lose in the holding cell as adequately as they could. and so here safety was definitely a massive issue for people in a building like this. and of course, the thousands of buildings like this across the city and across the major cities. in johannesburg, i want to bring in at the mother of a lady who was living in the building. we're speaking to personally shopping. she is the mother of a woman who was living here for at least a year. and presently you're waiting for any word about where she might be. you'll be in your for hours. i can only imagine what you're going through, especially with the limited information you available. i've been here since morning before 7 and we still haven't gotten any update as to what you said for me. we've just been told to the people that are covered to rising.

11:06 am
a very informal safety within that closing and it's just so dangerous. yeah, it's almost heading to say this is very said because my daughter was on drops and she ended up leaving home and coming to stay in that phase where she can access the substances. so yeah, that's the reason why she gives us drugs. so if you need, we appreciate your time and wish you the best and finding your daughter. if it's fair number of people here, just like tricity waiting for any words around. what's happened in that posing how for all the recovery operation is we do know from emergency services that at least 40 c other people have been taken to hospital many with smoke ventilation and other injuries. but so for 4064 people have been found dead and those operations are continuing just behind us. such
