One person has died and several have been injured after part of building collapsed onto a pavement in Durban, South Africa.
Local media report that several people are still trapped inside.
The KwaZulu-Natal Emergency Services spokesperson Robert McKenzie told SABC that paramedics were on the scene, and traffic had already started building up because it is near an intersection.
