Hundreds displaced by Cape fire

More than 200 people have been displaced by a fire, which destroyed about 50 dwellings at the Doornbach informal settlement near Du Noon near Milnerton in the Western Cape.

Two water tankers and a helicopter were used to douse the flames. Johann Minnie, a disaster management spokesperson, said they will be assisting those affected with food, clothing, and accommodation.

There have been no reports of any injuries or fatalities. SABC
