South Africa: The Reaction Unit South Africa has recovered the burnt bodies of three people in a building destroyed in a fire on Eagle Road in Mission Lands – KZN. The fire broke out in the building in the late hours of the morning or early afternoon on Saturday.
The reaction unit was alerted of the incident when four men did not return to their homes after working a night shift. Notably, the family and friends of the individuals arrived at their workplace to look for them.
The friends and family reached the building destroyed by fire and looked into the gutted structure through a window. At this point, they noticed something that looked like skeletal remains and alerted the Reaction Unit officers.

The relatives of the deceased victims talked to the Reaction Unit officers and shared the information about the incident. They revealed that nine Malawian nationals were working the night shift at the furniture manufacturing business.
The fire broke out during the shift on Friday at approximately 23:30. The employer of the Malawian workers had locked the exits and entrances of the place at the start of their shift.
Due to the locked entrances and exits, the men could not escape the inferno. The Reaction officers noted that the survivors provided this information.
