"I saw the building collapse. // I remember, I saw one guy was working and then boom, and I saw the whole building collapse and that's what I saw."
Western Cape premiere Alan Winde said 75 members of a construction crew were at the site at the time of the incident.
Those rescued from the site had been sent to hospitals across the Western Cape province, the municipality of George, a coastal city east of Cape Town, said in a statement.
