In the press: A glimpse into habitation, decay and hope amid hijacked buildings crisis
By Michelle Banda for Daily Maverick
The long-anticipated hearing of the second phase of the Khampepe Inquiry resumed last week, aiming to tackle Johannesburg’s building hijacking crisis. Initially convened to uncover the causes of the August 2023 blaze that killed 76 people, the inquiry has since expanded to address the conditions of hijacked buildings across Johannesburg and Gauteng province. This shift follows a comprehensive inspection conducted over September of 140 buildings suspected of being hijacked.
