NATIONAL NEWS - Today, Tuesday 6 May, marks the one year anniversary since the terrible tragedy that struck in Victoria Street when a five storey apartment complex collapsed while 62 construction workers were on site.
At precisely 14:09, the entire building came down in less than five seconds, burying the workers on site.
34 workers lost their lives that day. Only 28 survived, some with permanent injuries.
A memorial service will be held today, to mark the first anniversary of the Victoria Street building collapse – South Africa’s deadliest construction disaster.
The event will honour the memory of the 34 lives lost and offer a space for healing for the families, survivors, and the wider George community.
The service will take place from 13:30 to 15:30 at the main municipal hall in York Street.
