Uncovering the Shortcomings that Resulted in the National Assembly Fire

by Emma Botha
October 21, 2023

The National Assembly fire was caused by multiple errors, including violations of fire regulations, safety standards and maintenance issues. Neglecting basic service security standards, inadequate perimeter fencing and noncompliance with fire safety regulations were all contributing factors. The report recommends remedial measures, such as implementing security risk assessments and developing a comprehensive fire plan, and also highlights potential repercussions for the 18 employees involved in the incident. These measures are necessary to protect the National Assembly and other buildings of constitutional and historical significance, and to prevent similar incidents in the future.
