At least 74 people have been killed and dozens more injured after a fire ripped through a building in Johannesburg – one of the deadliest blazes in South Africa’s history.
At least 12 of those killed were children, the youngest, a one-year-old, according to city and medical officials. They said an undetermined number of people were still missing and many bodies recovered were burned beyond recognition. The building had been abandoned but was being occupied by homeless people.
