Authorities say they’ve been able to hold conversations with 11 people trapped under the rubble.
It's been 24 hours since a partially constructed apartment complex folded in the town's CBD.The cause of the construction tragedy is still unknown.They’ve isolated a dense pocket where at least four people are believed to be stuck in the basement.
Western Cape disaster management chief, Colin Deiner, said that retrieving these workers would take much of the afternoon. Western Cape Premier Alan Winde, MEC Anton Bredell, George’s mayor and emergency stakeholders are now providing an update on rescue operations happening in George following the collapse of a four-storey building yesterday afternoon.Rescuers will then begin the delicate task of peeling back the sheets of concrete and dismantling the webs of iron rods piercing through the rubble mounds.
