The survivors of the Usindiso building fire and shack fires in Johannesburg marched to premier Panyaza Lesufi's office on Friday with a letter of demands.   More than 70 people died in the fire on August 31. The survivors were moved to a temporary shelter in Denver, close to the Johannesburg CBD. A commission of inquiry was established to investigate the fire's cause and the frequency of hijacked buildings in the Johannesburg CBD. The marchers' demands included better living conditions and an end to xenophobic attacks.
