several countries in africa and the west of express deep concern the i'm gonna hold off was welcome to the program. south african president silver on a post that has sent his condolences to the families of more than 70 people killed overnight in a 5 the plays broke onto the 5 story building and johannesburg posts said he hopes an investigation can help prevent a repeats of the tribes with the officials said, living spaces in the building had been rented out illegally. it was still night when the fire broke out, firefighters rushed to the scene and began rescuing residents. but with daylight it

became clear that many couldn't be saved. it was dozens of bodies recovered from the gutted building up to 200 people, i believe, to be living in the dilapidated 5 story structure. officials say shak set up inside had made it hard to, to escape the flames. really, so what do we need to say highlights all of us. it's a little bit more specific details for my city inside. so therefore, there the trends of one being said, the site that much higher survive is concerned, making it out to the smoke filled building was hauled and dangerous. it was, it was so difficult for us to get out the opposite, the inquiry to us with beds, but i managed to get out with my kids. we managed to escape, but we didn't have a lot of smoke. at least we got out. was very sad as the others who died inside

firefight is a working the way through the building floor by floor. with the death toll expected to rise further. efforts to identify the victims would likely be difficult with some bodies left. but beyond recognition. the calls that the fly is not yet clear, but an investigation into the tragedy is already underway. of i'm on the story when i joined from johannesburg by w as dyan, whole country on. uh, can you tell us more about the circumstances of the find also about the owners of the building? so we'll get the owners of the building officially on the municipality. this folding used to actually be a women and children self tax. and it is marked as a heritage side. yes. the says, however, usable officials have told us that the building has been being overrun and taken

over by the vehicle that we have a significant problem with that issue here in the back of the city. same. so they are not the, of all the buildings that have to be taken over either because the last type of band today because i've been to kentucky, lead can be taken over the building. moved and then they own a subdivision in the building and then started rating out those small spaces. we understand that some of these spaces were being rated out for around a $1300.00 rad, which is quite a nominal amount of money. but people living in this area, it would be, you know, a decent, not a bond for accommodation because in the dogs to get the, a lot of people working in the full job. people were working with in the tax the industry and also doing their own. and trapped the meriel activity. so if i understand you correctly, the building was overcrowded. is that the reason for the very high desktop to

well, part of the reason for the high did f told from we what we add, the said is that these subdivisions were dining types of folding. but they were using sort of informal materials like cardboard and things and other things to make up the, these route. so when the fire services, which is the fire, the key was quite high. as a result of these materials, you can see the building is a, is a brick building. but when you have all these additional materials inside, it would have also acted as a, a. i don't want to not be tied in but a way for the fire to increase and then defy actually put quite strongly. another issue that happened was that the flow was actually damaged by the people in the building. so the fire official said yeah, but it was quite difficult for them to reach certain areas of the building because

it's the structurally and integrity of the building was in fact also a problem. i understand this is not the 1st tragedy like this in the johannesburg. is that correct? they have been a number of issues relating to its these kind of fully hijacked folding in particular that there was a reason to be a fire for thoughtful at the end of joseph hospital. there was a number of patients were affected by that fire, but i think on the level of the scale this by a particularly said out and of course would be very high. it's how it stands out to pretend to be compared to other incidents like this. and definitely, because of the issue of the illegal o nichol, the legal, hijacked to the building, if this and if you have exacerbated what could have possibly been a low, but it's cold because of the way that the structural was being used. some of the

entrances being blocked and people just simply not being able to get out on top a dan whole, cuz every folder from johannesburg. thank you very much. diane. well then regional leaders, i'm calling for a return to constitutional roland got bought a day off of the military says paul, that the european union has con, dental to and cold for restraint from both sides. the african union peace and security council is due to me to discuss the situation. couple is on the new leadership of to the military name, the chief of the republican job as the head of government. its invisible governments, the cooley, this excuse, the post president ali bungled off embezzlement and have placed him on the hospital right now that's across over to dw correspondent, i'm our co quarter in lagos and neighboring nigeria. and i, what do we know about the current situation in double the yes,
