He says they've managed to stop the blaze from spreading.
“At the moment, it is damping down. It is a lot of shops that are affected."
Meanwhile, Hadebe says the structural integrity of the mall has been compromised, which is why access to the site is prohibited.
Some walls have already started collapsing.
