Three people burned to death in a shack in Oceanview, Jeffreys Bay, early on Tuesday, Eastern Cape police said.
The fire brigade had received a call alerting them to the fire, but when they arrived at the address in the informal settlement, the shack was already destroyed, Superintendent Priscilla Naidu said.
The bodies of the three people were later found, severely burnt and difficult to identify.
It is thought a candle or lamp may have started the blaze, which firemen prevented from spreading further into the settlement. - Sapa
