TimesLive reports that stones are still piled up on the roof of Johannesburg's Charlotte Maxeke Hospital less than a month after a similar situation led to a structural collapse.
Five people were injured when part of the roof over an entrance collapsed at the hospital on 2 March. A contractor was accused of negligence and the Gauteng infrastructure MEC Jacob Mamabolo is expected to release the official findings into the incident in the next few days. Hospital employees are now worried about the potential for another collapse. Three engineers said it was not ideal to pile stones so high in one area, although they could not give an opinion in this instance because they had not assessed the structure and strength of the roof. A Gauteng spokesman said that the stones would be removed on Monday.
