Northgate Mall ceiling collapses amid heavy weekend rains


Shoppers at Northgate Mall were left shaken after sections of the ceiling collapsed following heavy rainfall over the weekend.

Video footage circulating on social media shows debris and water pouring into parts of the mall as rain battered Johannesburg, raising concerns about infrastructure safety during severe weather conditions.

At the time of publishing, it is unclear whether any injuries were reported. Mall management has not yet released an official statement regarding the cause of the collapse or whether affected areas have been closed to the public.

Gauteng has experienced intense rainfall in recent days, leading to flooding and structural damage in several areas across the province.
