- Опубликовано: 13 май 2024
- The death toll in the George building collapse now stands at 32, with 20 people still unaccounted for. The Deputy Minister of International Relations, Alvin Botes, has appealed for financial assistance from the public to help repatriate the bodies of foreign nationals killed in the George building collapse.
Representatives from the High Commissions of Zimbabwe and Malawi are also in George to meet with family members of the victims and oversee the repatriation process. According to Botes, repatriation is not covered by consular support services covered by DIRCO. Eighty-one people were on site when the building collapsed last Monday.

South Africa cannot take on more foreigners we need a new strong government
If i may this is not the platform for such comment, people passed away lets respect the berieved families at this point in time irrespective of nationality.
@@reagan8572 says who?
@@reagan8572 this is exactly the right time it’s prove of what South Africans have been crying about
@@fedechannel3615 so yu mean South Africans have been crying to go nd die it that Gorger Building.
Stop talking rubbish nd keep yr mouth shut
They still coming wether yu like or not nd its a thing yu cannot controll
Well isn't that just appalling? I hope they get sued for this tragedy. No sympathy for so many people just working hard and doing their jobs. No acknowledgement from the Developers? Shame on you.
The developers must be accountable and brought to book , for this is appalling.
So sad no response of condolences ,what about compensating these families, during this trauma.
This is so unacceptable. I haven't seen a single South African that was involved in that George collapse
True our people r without jobs and yet they only employ people from outside now u can c the lawlessness in this country no accountability where is the so called developers u can not say everything but u can think 4 yourself 😊
They say South Africans are lazy but the real reason they hire illegals it's bcz of cheap labor. Imagine R80 per day🚮🚮
So Delvin is from Malawi???
@@AdmireGambinya the situation is so absurd that one would assume that Delvin was the migrant working in another country. 1 out of how many, Gambinya?
There are living on other parts of the country who wish to contribute financially but it must go to a reputable organisation who will ensure that the money gets to the people who need it ...and for those interested I am an Afrikaans African
My point is this. Government of Zimbabwe must come in assist their nationals. When Zambians perished in a bus accident, the Zambian Government dispached an air force plane to collect the departed ones. The same as the recent bus accident from Botswana, the Botswana government dispached their air force plane to collect. South African government can only do that much.
Very very painful.. people just needed jobs to survive unfortunately nobody saw this calamity coming ....
I wonder who are those developers they must be very powerful to be still unknown after what has happened 🤔
They aren't unknown... Jirrr we can make things up 🙄
@@mvubu6823Sure he’s being sarcastic?
@@wegap2012 Reading all the domkop statements I have seen on this matter, I wouldn't be suprised.
The developers must take responsibility ‼️‼️‼️
It is not even a fact that it was their fault. The Developers have at least gave an indication that they will help pay the salaries to the survivors and the families. All the bodies are not even recovered yet.
@@sandrajansevanvuuren7891 it's their project , they must take responsibility , they have planners and artitechts , where were they ? They are suppose to be on site with the engineers , it's a building site , not a classroom , do you understand what I'm trying to say ? I was in construction myself before
We need answers. This is despicable.
Brother why dont you get your documents in your countries
Condolences to those who hv lost their loved ones during this incident, May their souls rest in perfect peace,we are together in prayers, 🙏🕊️
What about our own people that havent got work.
Where are the employers of these victims? They should be held accountable. They can't just go missing.
The first thing they demand is documents for their people while we are begging for jobs
Suddenly Zimbabweans can't hear English but are always boasting to be well educated than South Africans
Your lack of empathy is astonishing.
@@Hannah-hv5pcempathy is for the weak

@@Hannah-hv5pcempathy is for the weak. We need strong leaders
@@Hannah-hv5pc he does have empathy, he was just telling the truth.
Why is no South Africans working here on labourers?
Only A few hold those posts
Developers are not saying anythibg?
Developer and main contractor it is your responsibility to help. Your absence from the site speaks volumes about your character.
Condolences for those who die 🙏
Let one South African go to Zim and you wil see how they Zimbabweans bring the police to you.
😂😂😂😂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂
Not true
@@kudzai6131
Ok..
You dont know what happened, so dont talk as if you know.
Illegal wil always be illegal, if you die in a country and you jump the fence, we cant pretend that you came here legal.
We all have learnt some lessons out of this
We need all help we need 🙏
Haven't seen the President of the country near the disaster scene even though the news was broadcast worldwide.
C’mon man that’s not fair. It’s like saying Biden must be at every mass shooting?
It’s elections South Africa unemployment rate is high he can’t be seen as endorsing illegals
Call mnagagwa to the scene
🙏🏻 well said
😢 soo painful
Only in south kAfrica
What do you mean
In any normal country these people would already be in detention centers. But yes, only in South Africa.
What is the story that a cleaner was seeing mixing concrete on that building site , is this true ❓❓❓
There was an article in a newspaper that said a woman was hired to do cleaning. Allegedly a video was made of her being made to mix cement and carry bricks etc.
I am not sure if she made it out or if she is one of the workers unaccounted for.
Absolutely appalling if true!
R3m 😂😂😂 - and people are paying R1.5k? This country is a joke
Thats why they use cheap labour's cause they greedy F....... that want to fill their pockets but the workers get peanuts because they foreigners. They know for a fact south africans will not work for peanuts its sad
The company must be held accountable heads must roll here that company is a fly by nights company
Beke Cele has not sent a single word of condolence to the families of the 87 people that are murdered each day in South Africa. So the developers are just following his example. They learn from the best.
If a South African go to Zimbabwe illegal, the Zimbabweans wil bring the police straight to you.
A leopard will never change its colours
@@deebeem1789 yup
Don't speak of something you don't know @@DimitriPaulJonas
So you really think that is practical? Secondly is it comparable to breaking the law which I am alleging these developers did? In other words are you justifying breaking the law because the minister does not send daily condelences to murder victins? I am just asking.
I am speechless. Living in a third world country in absolutely every sense of the word!
this is unacceptable its a utter disgrace in my opinion
Are the materials ysed from RSA or imported?
Shame on the developers!!!! SA is a disgrace!
disgrace! since 1994

Is there a possibility of a bank account into which we can contribute towards the repatriation on the bodies
When our ppl died in Nigerian church we repatriated them our selves, no donations where asked for
@@CheckyJemina-sv8sy don’t be shocked by the emphatic responses and pleas. This is their workforce so of course they’ll sympathize more.
No there r bank accounts in their countries not ours
Dit sal nie snaaks wees as die cleaner ook gehelp bou hetnie. Mense druk hul in waar hul nie hoort nie dasrom is die land in so n toestand
When corruption becomes dangerous to human lives.
Workers compensation must cover them,they have the same rights as sa citizens i heard.10 to1 a BEE company that did not pay tax or contribute to the UIF
If they’re documented and have work permits, yes.
White owned actually while exploiting cheap foreign labour
You think SA has funds to play with neh? This pple are criminals, they are ILLEGALLY in the Country.
AS A SUNDOWNS FAN I THINK MOKENG WILL DO WONDERS OVERSEAS BUT SOMETIMES IT DEPENDS ON THE COUCHES WORKING WITH HIM BUT NO DOUTS THE BOY WILL MAKE IT AND HE WILL BE A STAR
Legal process
Find a company that have visa Sponsorship certificate and apply to work at that company and the company will provide you with the visa sponsorship certificate.
We have all the skills for construction, so we dont have companies need to do visa sponsorships
Developers pay the contractor to erect a structure.
Contractor and subcontractors, engineer, building inspector, and site foreman must explain and not the owners as haven't yet taken possession of the complete building.
They could still send their condolences and offer some kind of real support. I went down and donated some items the day after it happened. It has nothing to do with me, but I have a human heart. It's really not that hard.
Is casual labour covered by Workman's Compensation Fund? Would hope that it is. Surely this fund could assist with the cost of repatriation. All parties involved in the development and construction of the project should also be liable for costs.
I think a prerequisite for most benefits, in any sector, is to be documented… As painful as the situation is, it would be absurd to reward illegality.
Yes casual labour and undocumented labour is covered by Workmens comp
you actually have to contribute to Workmans Compensation in order for that to happen. That would be an option is everything was legal and above board. BUT for 81 illegal migrate workers, who are legally not even allowed to have a bank account... so ja, you tell me.
Im glad the guy raised the point of documentation cz really sum of these ppl make means to be documented bt it's a struggle, i wish realy Sumthing must be done and fact they are already here so🤷♀️
Being in South Africa is not a right. If you don’t qualify then you just don’t, forcing the issue only leads to situations like this.
Bullshit. I saw their podcast of condolences and their assurance of assistance in the search and rescue effort.
I think it's extremely disrespectful how the interviewer turned her back on the Zimbabwean pastor
The pastor was bluffing...a fake pastor
Mining have nothing to do with this tragedy ,
He said ...minds... can come together. It's his accent.
