当局说，南非开普敦（AP） - 当局说，已经摧毁了南非主要议会室的大火在周一开始在130年历史的历史建筑中大约36小时后再次爆发。
下午晚些时候，火焰在主要议会大楼的屋顶上重新出现后，消防员被送回开普敦中心的议会区。开普敦消防和救援服务发言人杰梅因·凯雷斯（Jermaine Carelse）告诉《新闻24》网站，有30多名消防员再次与大火作斗争。
在大火重新点燃之前，当局已经说过它已被遏制并开始评估损害。大火在周日早上凌晨6点左右开始。
Still a mystery is the role of a man who has been arrested and is being questioned by police in connection with the fire. The man is due to appear in court on Tuesday and authorities weren’t commenting further on his involvement or any possible motives, other than to say he would likely be charged with breaking and entering, theft and arson.
The man is also facing charges under South Africa’s National Key Points Act, a security law that restricts access to government buildings and other places of national importance.
当局说，该男子尚未被命名，周日在现场被捕。南非媒体报道说，他必须从大火中救出他，而如果在南非民主的席位上发生故意袭击，就已经提出了问题。
Parliament was closed for the holidays and no injuries have been reported in the fire.
对议会区中庄严的白色和红砖建筑已造成了广泛的破坏。议会在一份声明中说，大火已经烧毁了国民议会大楼的房间，南非立法者会议通过法律。
“We are indeed devastated,” Parliament said.
“我们站在一个破碎的议会面前，烧毁了议会，”议员纳塔莎·马佐尼（Natasha Mazzone）在大火重新燃烧之前在综合大楼的大门上说。“看看我们的屋顶，美丽的屋顶，烧毁，倒塌。”
“The National Assembly chamber is completely destroyed. I’ve seen it for myself. Everything is destroyed. This will take an operation second to none to rebuild,” she said.
Two other buildings had also been badly damaged in the inferno, Parliament said, including the original Parliament building that had been built in the 1880s and had weathered much of South Africa’s tumultuous history, including British colonialism and the apartheid regime.
The South African Parliament moved to the New Assembly building, built in the style of the old building, in the 1980s and it had been the seat of the national legislature for the momentous end of apartheid and the country’s transition to democracy under the presidency of Nelson Mandela.
凯雷斯说，周一早上，消防员一直在国民议会大楼上工作，但在那个阶段大部分，消防人员已经限制了。
As the fire was originally brought under control, what was left was blackened, unrecognizable ruins inside some of the rooms.
议员Mazzone说：“如果您是一个普通的人，这是令人难以置信的悲伤一天，站在这座建筑物前面，意识到我们已经失去了什么。”
公共工程和基础设施部长帕特里夏·德里尔（Patricia de Lille）说，有人关闭了阀门，阻止了消防喷头系统的运行。
她说，对火灾原因的调查已被霍克斯（Hawks）接管，霍克斯（Hawks）是一个涉及严重且引人注目的犯罪的南非警察部门。她说，周五将完成有关特殊火灾调查小组大火的初步报告。
