As long as tenders are given to family , friends & comrades with no clue of what they are doing. Their only concern is to enrich themselves, incidents like these will continue to happen . Wake & wizeup Mzantsi.

Tenders , cheap labour and material . People who knows nothing of construction get tenders because they working together with the once whos in charge of the tenders . Hope they all get exposed . ANC must go so the people who cares about the country can make a change . Very sad .May God protect SA and its people 🙏

Add the Buildig Mafia to the list of problems. Greed precedes safety and lives.

So much is wrong with these building sites collapsing
The City Engineers and Building Inspectors....what are their duties?
People building on sand banks 🙈🙉🙊WHY?
Who authorised the building plans 😏?
Lives lost continues to rise, who are responsible to these workers when oversight is non-existent?

It's unscrupulous people in business and politics
Happens in every country

@@lindaroodt484 I know that,one cannot deviate from years old 🗝️ building practices, it has never really changed,I worked in the engineering industry for many years, massive construction sites, building headgears . . since 1994 building practices have been going down due to evil Mandela taking over the country and bringing in affirmative action

Surprise that more of this is not common practice as all in RSA is going down the drain.

[@truth-Hurts375]

I thought your White Racist Domkoppe in the Western Cape are bright enough to prevent this !!!

[@reinemarais4392]

Who is the contractor? Who supplies the cement? Who supplies the labour? Are there correlations between what is happening in Ballito and what happened in George?

[@karmathemis4111]

Obviose the construction mafia is getting greedy

[@reinemarais4392]

@@karmathemis4111 They are already greedy, which is why I asked.

[@truth-Hurts375]

Did you ask this question in George???There it was Carl Swanepoel !!!
George sit with a White Domkop Mayor...George is in the WC run by the DA.Matric Domkop Alan Winde is the prime minister...
Now you are quick to jump on the Blame Game !!!!
Hope you did the same in George...

[@lungiphungula9048]

George and Ballito are built by high end contractors and not Government tenders they are private work
