South Africa: Durban to Spend R28 Million to Demolish ‘Disastrous’ Building

(:E-:N-:R-AZ:C-30:V)   

The eThekwini Municipality has voted to demolish the damaged China Emporium building at a cost of R28 million (U.S.1,4 million), despite concerns about the city’s ability to recover the cost from the building’s owners, reports IOL. The building was damaged by fire in January 2022 and has been deemed an eyesore and a safety hazard. The municipality has tried to get the owners to demolish the building, but they have failed to do so. The municipality has now been granted a court order to demolish the building and recover the cost from the owners. However, some councilors are concerned that the city will not be able to recover the cost, as the company already owes the city R12 million in municipal fees. The mayor, however, says that the building is a disaster in waiting and that it is necessary to demolish it.
