The death toll from the building collapse in George, South Africa, has risen to 34. The incident, which occurred at 75 Victoria Road, left 62 survivors and initially had 19 people unaccounted for. President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the site and assured families of government assistance and accountability. An independent probe into the collapse is expected to take at least 12 months. Authorities have completed the search and recovery operation, which took over 250 hours, and have handed over the site to the Department of Employment and Labour for further investigation. The building engineer is under investigation, and efforts are underway to repatriate the victims. The revised tally indicates that all bodies have been accounted for.
