My brother-in law-died from lung cancer caused by asbestos because he grew up in an asbestos mining town. It is the most aggressive cancer that exists.

So true Collin, i share your Views 100% In any Democracy around the World, the ANC would have been removed from office, but in SA the ANC gets rewarded at each election..

It is not dangerous at all in its solid or processed form like on roofs. It may however be dangerous when mining in its raw form.

I'm a roofer and have worked with asbestos and it sheds fibres even if not disturbed obviously not as much as if moved but even if you sit on it then stand up your trousers are full of fibres, if you crawl into an attic space and shine a torch 🔦 you'll see fine fibres everywhere, I hate the stuff!
