Meyersdal Eco Estate near Alberton, Ekurhuleni, has to be the moegoe this week. On Monday, seven construction workers were killed when the house they were working on collapsed.

This is the same estate from where a giraffe was transported on the N1, where its head struck a bridge. It subsequently died.

A giraffe, the tallest living creature on earth, standing at 6m, cannot go under a bridge where the legal loading height is 4.3m. But they could not fathom this.

Not only can they not transport animals, but it seems they can't build houses either.
