South Africa Building Collapse

Rescuers and onlookers cheered and applauded Saturday as a survivor was rescued after 116 hours from underneath the rubble of a collapsed building in South Africa, with the tragedy having killed at least 13.

A multi-storey building under construction in South Africa's coastal city of George collapsed on Monday trapping about 48 workers in the rubble, the city hall said.

Five people died Monday when a building under construction collapsed in a South African town south of Johannesburg, emergency workers said.

Rescue workers called off the search for survivors at a collapsed South African building site on Wednesday, believing there are no more trapped construction workers beneath the half-built shopping mall.
