3 Shack fires, leave scores homeless

At least 30 people have been left homeless following yet another shack fire in Gugulethu on the Cape Flats. Cape Town Fire says about six structures were gutted late last night.

There were no fatalities or injuries. The cause of the blaze is unknown.

Yesterday, more than 100 people were left homeless in Khayelitsha's RR Section after a blaze burnt down 20 huts. A candle apparently toppled over in one of the structures in very windy conditions.

On Friday, about 200 people were left destitute when 60 shacks were gutted in Khayelitsha's TR Section.

Victims of the latest fire say they've lost everything. - SABC
