Independent News reports that the Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng has vowed to fight to force Premier David Makhura to release a report on the probe he conducted into the circumstances which led to the deaths of three firefighters after a fire broke out in a government office at the Bank of Lisbon building in 2018.
The DA’s spokesperson on health, Jack Bloom, made the pledge after he expressed his dissatisfaction with Makhura’s written replies in the provincial legislature to question about the status of an investigation conducted by the premier’s Office. In his reply, Makhura gave a two line non-response to a series of questions. Bloom reacted as follows: “I am deeply suspicious that there is something to hide as Gauteng Premier David Makhura has refused to give details of the investigations into the Bank of Lisbon fire that started at the head office of the Gauteng Health Department on September 5, 2018. This is an evasive reply as I was following up on (Jacob) Mamabolo’s (acting health MEC’s) reply to me, which indicated that the Premier’s Office had conducted one of four investigations into this fire which led to the deaths of three firefighters.” Read the original of the report in the above regard by Baldwin Ndaba at Independent News
