At Least Six Dead in Johannesburg Building Collapse Amid Rescue Efforts

A concrete floor under construction collapsed in a Johannesburg building on March 2, killing at least six people, with two trapped and three missing, according to emergency services. Rescue efforts were hindered by unstable structures, and it is unclear if all victims were construction workers. Officials plan to investigate construction oversight and safety approvals. A similar 2024 collapse in South Africa resulted in 34 deaths due to safety breaches.
