Bank of Lisbon building to be demolished following fatal 2018 fire | Sesona_Ngqaks
This is after a structural assessment on the building was conducted following the fatal fire that claimed the lives of three people in September 2018.
Masebe said, after the assessment report, various options of remedying the structure were looked at, but it was concluded that it would be in the best interests of the environment where the building was situated, for it to be demolished.

The building had been stabilised and the contractor was conducting investigations to determine the best and safest way of demolishing it, Masebe said..ALSO READ:
