Chairperson of the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC), Noxolo Kiviet, says those who lost their loved ones during the George Building collapse in the Western Cape are yet to receive justice.
Kiviet joined Human Settlements Minister Thembi Simelane in Pretoria to release a report into the building tragedy that claimed 34 lives in May last year.
The report highlighted a number of gross irregularities before and during the construction of the multiple-storey building.
Council chair Kiviet says while no one has yet been arrested, justice must be seen to be done.
“We must be thorough and full accountability must take its cause. We would want to see justice being done. It may seem like it’s delayed, but the quality of the report that is in front of us is going to help us take the kind of steps and response that will make those families feel that justice has been served.”
