Other buildings that caught fire

This is not the first fire in Johannesburg in the past six months. A building caught fire in the Johannesburg CBD in August, killing over 70 people and leaving hundreds displaced. To date, the cause of the fire remains unknown.

Another building caught fire in September in the Joburg CBD. The building was also located on the same street as the first building that caught fire in August, and media reported that tenants were paying R1 200 per month to stay in the structure.
