Parliament has been found lax in keeping its fire-safety systems in working order.
A City of Cape Town fire incident report has revealed several issues of non-compliance.
This appears to have led to the fire of the 2nd of January not being contained and raging through the historic buildings.
Public Works has declared the National Assembly building unsafe and recommended it be cordoned off and closed immediately.
Due to the destruction, the State of the Nation Address scheduled for 10 February will move to Cape Town’s City Hall.
Public Works has started the process of enlisting an independent specialist engineering team to conduct further assessments and to test the structure of the building.
