		</div><p>A fire has broken out in a building where squatters were living illegally in central Johannesburg, killing seven people, South African authorities have said.</p>
<p>The victims at the Cape York building included one who died after jumping from the high-rise, the African News Agency reported.</p>
<p>A crane was used to rescue more than 50 people from the roof during the fire, the city’s emergency services department said.</p>
<p>Seven people were taken to hospital, mayor Herman Mashaba said, and local media reported some were treated for smoke inhalation.</p>
<p>Authorities are investigating the cause of the blaze.</p>
<p>Mr Mashaba lamented the issue of squatters occupying urban buildings in unsafe conditions. He wrote on Twitter: <i>&#8220;The tragedy at Cape York in the Inner City is a narrative all too familiar.&#8221;</i></p>
