A number of SABC employees have been taken to hospital after a fire broke out at its Radio Park building in Auckland Park, Johannesburg.
The fire broke out in one of the kitchens in the building, which has resulted in at least five people being taken to hospital.
Staff at the public broadcaster had to be evacuated.
SABC spokesperson Vuyo Mthembu said that an electrical fault in the distribution board box in one of the canteens caused the fire.
Mthembu said that the fire was extinguished “in good time” but the five people that have been taken to hospital suffered from smoke inhalation.
