Authorities say this structure is illegal

Kweneng District Council (KDC) has disclosed that a church building, which recently collapsed killing a man and injuring another, was not given a building permit. This is despite the pastor of the church saying in an earlier interview that the council had approved the construction of the building.

The building belonged to Mission to the World of Ministries International Church in Mogoditshane.

KDC Council Secretary, Wazha Tema, revealed to Mmegi in an interview that the building was deferred in 2012 by the Self Help Housing Agency (SHHA) for a building and planning permit, as it did not meet the required standards.
