@savage21skiee What's going on with people and taking videos on life threatening situations

@savage21skiee Itโs human nature hey ๐๐

they still taking videos and not running away??

@its_khumo ๐คญ๐

And yet peeps still inside shooting content ๐ญ๐ญ

Content is king

But those malls , East gate, West gate,North gate, south gate, are very old malls, not surprised why they collapse...

Content will get people killed. Why are you still recording? ๐๐๐

๐คญ๐

Lmao at Pep they just closed doors, imagine dying for i business yomlungu, I'd have left everything there๐คฃ

Slave mentality

It's sad because even umlungu would understand why you left

Do Malls give RAF? Asking for friend ๐คง๐คง๐

๐๐คฃ

I used to have a shop in Northgate Mall back in 2000 to 2005. The centre management was lead by Andre Klopper & maintenance was front of mind. When Cobus Weyers took over everything went to the dogs. Bad bad management since then. Cobus Weyers really killed all that was there.

Itโs so unfortunate

I would be stealing shit if I were there๐

If this was a clinic, we would be saying corruption and tenders are killing the country. The private sector is just as bad as the government .

Nna, i wonder how some pips' survival instincts works, cause ehhh, reminds me of that petrol truck burning under a bridge ๐ batho ba meltile kao phapha mxm...a building is literally collapsing and ya'll r standing right there nje screaming and recording casually soo aiii๐ฎ๐ฎ

Mall of Africa watching this like

๐๐

The building is caving in and somebody is rushing with their phone to get footage. What a wow.

Pep store and centre management clearly havenโt conducted regular drills for emergency situations like these, the lady genuinely thinks the safest place for her is the storeโฆ.

Itโs sad.

People are not scared of death out there, the buildingโs roof is falling down and youโre still in the building taking videos instead of finding your way out? ๐ค

The cameraman is always safe๐ ๐คฃ

Yoooo. What a hazard! I hope noone was hurt. Those people inside the PEP Store what is their plan?

They didnโt get the green light to leave. So they didnโt wanna lose their jobs ๐

Its actually sad hey. I have worked for such environments and vele you wouldnโt risk losing the job.

Natural disaster or cheap labor?

A bit of both I think

@PrinceMalose Correct, I'm in the sector, Inferior product, ISQ of steel has been reduced to nonconformity, the plaster grid should hold weight at 23kg/mยฒ before collapsing. The sector is self regulated, ceiling and partitions contractors are accountable to no one.

@Mothematiks Yes, I'll tell my friends I know smart people on Twitter

Itโs crazy that you need to tell people to run away in this situation

๐๐

Knowing myself, I would have got closer just for a small injury to create lawsuitโฆ.๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ

Ikhona iRAF yase Mall? ๐ค

Maintaining a mall must be an Olympic sport yoh

There's an open wire on the wet floor and people are still standing ๐

Crazy

No ways when did this happen because I was there yesterday nje

It happened yesterday ๐

Yohh๐ญ

Yerrrrr this is bad

Very

Slave mentality at pep store

Yeah

Madluphuthu was present ๐ญ๐

๐๐

We see him ๐คฃ๐คฃ

No one is safe in the malls anymore.

I would've been outta there in a flash

The way i was hopong to see a Anaconda ka teng.

๐๐

It's this thing of building a thousand malls a year..

We have too many malls in this country

People busy recording instead of running

The masses deserve the content. And remember the cameraman is always safe ๐๐

Then someone rather die for content 'instead of getting out there..

Hope no one was hurt

No injuries reported

Our neighbors are watching, please delete Hope everyone is safe though

Which neighbours? ๐คญ๐

For one, search Ghana mall ๐ญ๐ฉโ๐พ

๐๐

Same thing happened to Festival mall in Kempton park on 1st December. Some of these malls are soon to become graveyards

The engineers must be held to account

Northgate is a very old mall. Itโs gone through some aesthetic upgrades, but never any real structural ones that would actually make a difference. Honestly, the place has been neglected, and this feels like a sign that itโs time for them to wake up.
