Five people have died in a series of devastating fires in informal settlements in Cape Town.
A mother, aged 21 years, and her two sons died in an early morning fire in RR Section in Khayelitsha on Tuesday.
City disaster management spokesperson Wilfred Solomons said the fire razed eight shacks, leaving 24 people homeless.
A man died in a fire that left seven people homeless in DT Section, Khayelitsha, early on Tuesday.
A second man died when four shacks were gutted by a blaze in Black City, Nyanga, yesterday. Sixteen people were left without homes.
A fire in Mew Way, Khayelitsha, destroyed a man’s home before 1pm on Tuesday.
“In all cases, we asked the Red Cross to provide blankets and food,” Solomons said.
