The Star reports that the report of investigations into the death of three firefighters at the now demolished Bank of Lisbon building in Johannesburg are set to be made public next month.
The building housed the Gauteng health, human settlements and local government departments. The firefighters lost their lives when a fire broke out at the building on 5 September 2018. The report release date was revealed by Gauteng Premier David Makhura in his written reply to questions by the DA’s health spokesperson Jack Bloom in the provincial legislature. Makhura said his office was coordinating with all agencies to ensure that all investigations were completed by the end of September. “Different investigations are at various stages and those processes are also subjected to legal advice. Significant progress has been made towards meeting the timeline of end of September 2021. This will enable us to take appropriate action in line with the evidence from various investigations conducted by different local, provincial and national agencies or departments in line with their legislative mandate,” Makhura said. He acknowledged that it was in the public interest to publicly release all the outcomes of the investigations together with the remedial action that would be taken.
