South African Parliament Fire

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will next month deliver the annual state-of-the-nation address from an alternative venue in Cape Town after fire gutted the city's National Assembly building, parliament announced Friday.

A fire that ravaged South Africa's parliament has been contained after strong winds had reignited the blaze, firefighters said on Tuesday.

An unnamed 48-year-old man has been arrested on charges of theft and arson after a part of the South African Parliament building in Cape Town was gutted on Sunday.

A major fire broke out at South Africa's seat of parliament in Cape Town early Sunday, sending a thick column of smoke into the sky and threatening the National Assembly building.
