A Fire broke out in a multi-story building in Johannesburg that had been taken over by homeless people, resulting in the death of at least 63 people and leaving 43 injured. The blaze occurred in the early hours of the morning, with many victims suffering from smoke inhalation. The death toll is expected to rise as rescue operations continue. The cause of the fire is unknown, but the building had been occupied without formal lease agreements, making it difficult to search. It is common for people to live illegally in unused buildings in the city center, often run by criminal syndicates.
