- Authorities are unsure what caused the fire.

- We heard accounts of survivors who were forced to jump from upper floors and throw their children out of windows to escape the blaze.

- President Cyril Ramaphosa who visited the site said the tragedy was a "wake-up call for us" to address the issue of housing in the inner city.
