Sunday marks the third anniversary since three City of Joburg firefighters died in an inferno which broke out at the former Gauteng Health Department’s Bank of Lisbon building.

“Immediately after the fire I laid criminal charges of culpable homicide against the then Health MEC Gwen Ramokgopa and Infrastructure Development MEC Jacob Mamabolo for negligence in not setting up a functioning Occupational Health and Safety Committee for the building, and for ignoring multiple warnings from unions and staff about the fire hazard,” Bloom said.

He said it was important that justice was seen to be done, instead of long investigations that allow politicians to evade accountability and add to the distress of families who seek closure for the loss of their loved ones. Bloom said the DA would hold Makhura to his undertaking that the reports would be made public at the end of this month, and will push for full accountability including criminal charges where warranted.

Last month, Makhura said all investigations would be consolidated by the end of this month. He also said that the aggrieved families would be notified first about the outcome of the investigation before the report was made public.
