Well, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has arrived at the scene of the fire.
It’s suspected that the Johannesburg blaze may have been sparked by a candle lit during load shedding, but investigations are ongoing into the fire at the run-down apartment block.

These buildings which tenants occupy illegally, are known as hijacked buildings.
