 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

 Hawks raid Polokwane Mayor’s office in corruption probe


The Hawks have raided the offices and homes of Polokwane Mayor John Mpe and Municipal Manager Thuso Nemogumoni in connection with alleged multimillion-rand corruption linked to tender kickbacks and the Makoro Foundation.


Hawks spokesperson Colonel Katlego Mogale confirmed that the operation was authorised by a court order to seize documents and information relevant to the investigation.


The EFF in Limpopo welcomed the raids, describing them as “long overdue,” while the Bolsheviks Party of South Africa accused municipal officials of trying to obstruct investigators.


Polokwane municipality spokesperson Thipa Selala said the city would fully cooperate with the Hawks and reaffirmed its commitment to service delivery and transparency.
