Du Noon residents try to rebuild lives after deadly fire

Some Du Noon informal settlers in Cape Town on Sunday said they are haunted by a deadly fire at the weekend. One person died and 30 shacks were destroyed on Saturday morning.

It is alleged the fire was started by a man following an argument with his girlfriend.

Desperate residents told Eyewitness News they are battling with many having lost everything.

Some residents also said they are unable to go home to the Eastern Cape for the holidays as they have lost all their belongings, including their Christmas bonuses.

A 36-year-old man arrested on Sunday for the incident is to be charged with arson.
