A four-story temple in Redcliffe near Verulam, north of Durban, collapsed on December 12, 2025, while workers added a structure on top, resulting in one confirmed death and several injuries. Rescue operations continue as teams search for others trapped under the rubble. The building lacked approved plans, making it illegal.
KwaZulu-Natal police have issued a statement addressing claims by Hawks head Major-General Lesetja Senona that he was removed from his office and had devices confiscated. Senona alleged the actions were ordered by Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and that he was followed to his Durban residence. The police countered that Senona breached security protocols by not signing in upon entry.
