By Mia De Graaf PUBLISHED: 12:32 EST, 19 November 2013 | UPDATED: 04:17 EST, 20 November 2013 At least two people are dead and 29 are injured after the roof of a mall under construction collapsed in Tongaat, north of Durban in South Africa. Builders were working on the half-finished three storey site when the second floor fell in. Rescue teams are using cranes, sniffer dogs and torches to look through the football pitch-sized complex as the search for any more survivors stretches into the night. 'The dogs are now combing the area for survivors,' police Lt. Mandy Govender said. 'There’s just chunks and chunks of concrete and we don’t know what’s underneath.'
