Last night, the workers at the fish processing facility, Eyethu Fishing, were queuing to leave the building when the second-storey floor caved in.
Many of the workers were rushed to hospital for bruises and fractures and at least two people were in a serious condition. No fatalities were reported.
Port officials say they will launch a full investigation into the collapse.
