Following the devastating blaze at South Africa’s Parliament, Zandile Mafe, accused of starting the fire, was declared unfit for trial due to schizophrenia. Despite this, Mafe, who admitted to igniting the flames in protest, asserts readiness for trial. The fire, engulfing the historic complex during lawmakers’ absence, caused extensive damage and highlighted security lapses. Repair estimates exceed $120 million, with a projected three-year restoration timeline, as legal complexities surround Mafe’s case.
