Two injured in a wall collapse in Verulam

Two people were injured after a wall that was being constructed collapsed on them in an office situated in a mall on Ireland Street in the Verulam CBD a short while ago (Friday).

At approximately 11:48 members of Reaction Unit South Africa were dispatched to the scene after receiving multiple calls from shoppers requesting assistance for the injured.

Upon arrival, it was established that an unregistered building contractor was erecting a wall at a business that offers short term loans when it collapsed on a female consultant and her client. The two suffered moderate injuries and were transported to Umhlanga Hospital by ambulance.

An investigation into the structural collapse is underway.
