City of Joburg goes to court to block reoccupation of burnt Marshalltown building
hazardous Builders seal off access to the Usindiso building that caught fire few weeks ago, leaving 77 people dead.The City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality has applied for a court interdict to prevent the reoccupation of the burnt Marshalltown building and hold the owner, Rian Cagnacci, accountable for violating occupational health and safety regulations, which resulted in the deaths of 77 people in the fire.
He stated that the occupants of the building had no reason to be allowed back into the building, since the city had arranged temporary accommodation for them in Brixton Hall, Johannesburg. “The aftermath of what occurred in Marshalltown, where 77 people – including women and children – died is a painful lesson for all of us, but particularly for the city.
Malahlela argued that the city did not own the property and it was therefore constrained from having it cleaned. For that reason, he requested that specific orders be issued against Cagnacci.
