from Update@Noon · host SAfm

Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson has on Tuesday visited the Nazareth Baptist Church in Inanda, KwaZulu-Natal, following the wall collapse that left 12 people injured, with four still in hospital. The Minister extended his sympathies to those affected and met church elders at the site. Macpherson says the church has agreed to a Council for the Built Environment investigation into the cause of the collapse before construction resumes. He has also pledged to work with the church and built-environment stakeholders to strengthen construction standards, improve building safety and help prevent similar incidents in future.
