“Land surveyors and Building inspectors.”

Briefly News got in touch with the man who made the post and he shared information that he had found as a result of making the post. Here is what he said:

A lot of people came forward claiming that this is not the professionals' fault, that it is the people who chose to build lovely homes close to a river – apparently, they should have known better.

Take a look at the mixed opinions:

@Black_J14 said:

“Land surveyors and building inspectors are not at fault. The owners hire civil engineers to do surveying work and those guys use Google earth heights and not heights from the trigonometric beacon. They don't even observe the flood line from 50 -100 years.”

@maximamillion said:

“They must be arrested, sadly Turkey waited for an earthquake disaster, only arresting construction companies and contractors for violating building regulations."

@LTJlinda said:

“Unfortunately people don’t follow zonings, some build on flood lines, truth is building control bylaws is no longer working because of politics. Some don’t understand all these things. I am offering services of feasibility assessments to curb such, but people aren’t interested.”

@NormaFakudze said:

“This is Tekwane South, just outside Mbombela (Nelspruit). It’s not about surveyors and inspectors. Most of these houses affected are built along flood lines and river banks. These stands were not approved. Most were bought from councillors and chiefs.”
