Firefighters struggle to extinguish last remains of fire that extensively damaged national assembly building
South African police said a man had been charged with arson over a fire that caused extensive damage to the national parliament building in Cape Town, as firefighters struggled to extinguish the last remains of the blaze.
The fire broke out early on Sunday at the parliamentary complex, some of which dates back to 1884 and includes the national assembly, or lower house, of parliament.
