A retired Constitutional Court judge will lead an official inquiry into last week's fire at a derelict building in downtown Johannesburg that left at least 76 people dead in one of South Africa's worst tragedies, the government said Tuesday.
Justice Sisi Khampepe will lead a three-member panel seeking to establish “who must shoulder total responsibility for this tragedy,” the government said. The inquiry will also look at the prevalence of rundown buildings that are illegally “hijacked."
