That is according to Mpho Dagada, the President of a new political party, Arise SA. Dagada was a Fourth Industrial Revolution commissioner in the Presidency.

Dagada describes in detail the alleged modus operandi of the slum syndicates - and urges voters to remember the victims of the building fire when they go to the polls.
