Officials said dozens more were also injured in the blaze in Johannesburg, which broke out in the middle of the night.
Emergency Management Services spokesman Robert Mulaudzi said a search and recovery operation was under way.
Authorities said the fire had been largely extinguished, but smoke still seeped out of windows of the blackened building.
