A fire tore through a building in downtown Johannesburg early Thursday, killing at least 63 people and injuring dozens of others, city officials said.
The authorities were still trying to determine what caused the blaze, which consumed a five-story abandoned building that had been overtaken by squatters and had become a sprawling informal settlement.
