Man dies in shack fire

A Graaff-Reinet man died when his shack caught fire on Tuesday night, said Eastern Cape police.

Inspector Gerrie van Rooyen said it was thought the fire started when a candle, or a lamp, fell over in the shack in Umasizakhe.

He said there was no criminal investigation into the death of John Qwali, believed to be 47, but that the police had opened an inquest docket. - Sapa
