Rescue operations comes to an end at South Africa’s building collapse site

Rescue operations at the George building collapse site in South Africa have ceased, leaving 19 individuals still missing.

The collapse, which occurred on May 6, claimed the lives of at least 33 construction workers. Fortunately, 29 survivors were rescued from the rubble.

The building is now under investigation to determine the cause of the tragic incident.

President Cyril Ramaphosa, after visiting the site on Thursday, promised compensation for the victims and assured accountability once the investigation concludes.
