President Ramaphosa has sent South Africa’s deepest condolences to the families that have lost loved ones.

About 100 people were killed and more than 4,000 others were hurt when the massive blast went off at a port on Tuesday.

Officials said that some warehouses had in storage explosive materials which were unsafe.
