Sthembiso Mdlalose, the man accused of igniting the devastating fire that claimed the lives of 76 individuals in the Usindiso Building in Johannesburg, returned to the Palm Ridge Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning. The trial commences amidst an atmosphere of grief and anger over the tragedy that unfolded on 31 August 2023.
The City of Johannesburg is planning to redevelop the Usindiso Building block, where 76 people died in a fire last year. The municipality may use the new Expropriation Act to acquire privately-owned properties in the area if owners are unwilling to sell, with plans to create affordable rental housing that could house four times the previous population.
