Bulldozers have been demolishing the popular Southend mall in the Kenyan capital Nairobi’s middle-class neighbourhood of Langata.
The government’s National Environment Management Authority (Nema) says the building was built on riparian land, and was therefore unsafe.
Nema intends to demolish more than 4,000 buildings in Nairobi over the next two months.
