Why three South African firefighters died from lack of water

By Pumza Fihlani

BBC News, Johannesburg

The death of three firemen in South Africa has shocked the country, with many feeling the blaze at a 26-
floor government building in Johannesburg reveals a reckless attitude to health and safety by elected
officials.

"If there was water in the building, our brothers would have survived and we would have been able to save the building,"
Muzikayise Zwane, a fireman from the Johannesburg Central Station, told mourners at an emotional memorial for his
colleagues.

"They were robbed of their lives because the building did not have water. They died because the building was non-
compliant, it wasn't safe."

Mr Zwane was part of the first team to respond to the fire on 5 September in central Johannesburg.

It was meant to be a routine call-out, but something went terribly wrong.

The firemen discovered the building had no water too late - and three men ____(5)_____ had gone into it to save lives,
lost theirs.

Twenty-eight-year-old Simphiwe Moropane was the first to die in the tragedy, after he slipped and fell from the 23rd

floor.

He had run out of oxygen and had gone to the ledge to try to get air, fellow firefighters revealed at the memorial service
held at Ellis Park stadium on Wednesday.

"I couldn't even recognise him. I had to search his pockets to find a form of identifying him - that's how crushed his body
was," Mr Zwane told mourners.

The City of Johannesburg tweeted updates from the memorial, using the hashtag "JoburgsBravest".

The two other firefighters, 40-year-old Mduduzi Ndlovu and 37-year-old Kathutshelo Muedi, suffocated to death after
they became trapped in the building.

Family members sobbed and comforted each other during the memorial as the details of the tragedy were shared.

Old and shabby

Investigations into what caused the fire are on-going but many believe the men were doomed from the beginning because
of the shoddy state of the building.

It was old and the lifts were not working, so the firefighters had to walk all the way up to the 23rd floor where the blaze
started. Not a single floor had water, the memorial was told.

The building housed the departments of health, human settlements and cooperative governance and traditional affairs
for Gauteng, South Africa's wealthiest province - home to Johannesburg and the capital, Pretoria.

A government report that has surfaced in the last few days revealed that the building was only 21% compliant with
occupational health and safety standards, as opposed to the expected norm of 85%.

The report was commissioned in 2017 by the Gauteng Infrastructure Development to assess various buildings around
the city.

Many ______(6)_______ why the government was still being used as office space, knowing it was below standard.

At the time of the fire, 14 people were working in the building, which opened in 1970 and is still known as the Bank of
Lisbon.

Jacob Mamabolo, the provincial minister, said his department was working on a project that would ensure all government
buildings in Gauteng were refurbished.

But the timeframe on this is unclear.

Days after the deaths, Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, whose opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) took control
of the City of Johannesburg from the ruling African National Conference (ANC) after local elections in 2016, said his
municipality had inherited more than "500 problem" buildings from the previous authority.

He alleges that he has faced opposition from the government when trying to clean up the city, including ridding it of
unsafe buildings.

CPF 16902932760

A 26-year-old man who was killed in a shark attack in Massachusetts has been identified as an engineering
student with plans to marry his girlfriend.

Arthur Medici became the first person to die in a shark attack in the state since 1936 on Saturday.

Isaac Rocha, the brother of Medici's girlfriend, said the victim had been teaching him to boogie-board, or body surf, when
the attack happened.

"He was screaming and then I saw, like, a shark tail," Mr. Rocha told CBS News.

"And I swam to him as fast as I could in that moment. I dragged him back to the shore and I got a boogie-board strap
and I kind of tied it around his thigh to try to stop the bleeding."

He added that Medici was not moving after he was brought to shore.

Emergency responders performed CPR, but he later died in hospital from his injuries, police in the town of Wellfleet said.

CPF 16902932760

Drake's son Adonis made a surprise appearance at Sunday's Billboard Music Awards, joining his father
onstage as he won an artist of the decade prize.

The rapper, 34, gripped his son's shoulder throughout his speech, before hoisting him into the air and saying: "I want to
dedicate this award to you."

The three-year-old burst into tears and left the stage clinging to his father's leg.

Meanwhile, The Weekend was the night's big winner, taking home 10 awards.

Among his prizes were best artist; top Hot 100 album for After Hours; and top Hot 100 song for Blinding Lights.

The star, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, more than doubled his career total of Billboard Music Awards, having
previously received nine trophies.

Korean pop band BTS also picked up four prizes, winning best group for the second time in three years; and top social
artist for the fifth consecutive year.

The band are now just one year short of equaling Justin Bieber's six-year hold on the social award from 2011- 2016.

Billboard Music Awards: Drake's son joins him to accept artist of the decade

Drake's son Adonis made a surprise appearance at Sunday's Billboard Music Awards, joining his father
onstage as he won an artist of the decade prize.

The rapper, 34, gripped his son's shoulder throughout his speech, before hoisting him into the air and saying: "I want to
dedicate this award to you."

The three-year-old burst into tears and left the stage clinging to his father's leg.

Meanwhile, The Weekend was the night's big winner, taking home 10 awards.

Among his prizes were best artist; top Hot 100 album for After Hours; and top Hot 100 song for Blinding Lights.

The star, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, more than doubled his career total of Billboard Music Awards, having
previously received nine trophies.

Korean pop band BTS also picked up four prizes, winning best group for the second time in three years; and top social
artist for the fifth consecutive year.

The band are now just one year short of equaling Justin Bieber's six-year hold on the social award from 2011- 2016.
