More than 70 dead in Johannesburg as fire guts migrants' building

Johannesburg Mayor Kabelo Gwamanda has said temporary accommodation is being provided to survivors of the deadly fire - but this will end after 72 hours.

"After 72 hours the Human Settlements department will advise on where they will be taken," Gwamanda said in a statement, adding that there were logistical and verification issues at play.

There are currently three sites providing temporary housing to the approximately 200 families affected.
