Man admits to intentionally burning South African Parliament, threatens to do it again

Zandile Mafe admitted in court to purposely setting fire to South Africa's Parliament building in Cape Town.
Mafe threatened to burn Parliament again if it is not relocated from Cape Town to Bloemfontein or Pretoria.
The fire caused major damage to the historic Parliament complex, with repairs estimated to cost $120 million over three years.
Mafe's trial has been delayed for a psychiatric evaluation to determine if he is fit to stand trial, with a decision postponed until next month.
Reconstruction work on the damaged Parliament building is underway, with completion estimated by September 2025.
