A Durban father is mulling legal action after his seven-year-old son died when he and his twin sister fell into an elevator shaft on the fourth floor of the block of flats they are living in, in the Durban CBD.
The boy died in hospital, while his sister remains in a critical condition.
The incident happened while the children were playing with friends. Their father, Khayelihle Khumalo, says the lift was malfunctioning, but no sign had been put up to warn the tenants.
