The death toll has risen to 58 after a fire broke out in a “hijacked” building in Johannesburg’s central business district.
It is reported that many of those who died in the five-storey building are foreigners.
Dozens of others are being treated for various degrees of burns, emergency services said.
A hijacked building is a property abandoned by its owners and taken over by unregulated tenants in the inner city.
The cause of fire and the value of destroyed property is yet to be revealed.
