The Keiskamma Tapestry, a 120m-long history of the Eastern Cape frontier embroidered by more than 100 women in the early 2000s, was in the hallway of the parliament buildings when it was set ablaze on Sunday. But the status of all the historic pieces is not yet known as temperatures of 100ºC are still being reached in some parts of the building, according to a parliamentary presiding officers' media briefing on Monday. Ben Mwasinga from the SA Heritage Resources Agency and Pamela Sinyosi, Fire Analyst and former fire auditor speak to us about this iconic moment.
