A man was killed in a shack fire in Philippi in Cape Town on Friday morning, the disaster risk management said.
Fire-fighters extinguished the flames in Sweet Home informal settlement after midnight and found the body inside a shack, spokesman Wilfred Solomons-Johaness said.
The man was burnt beyond recognition. In a separate incident, 16 people were displaced after seven shacks burnt in Khayelitsha on Thursday night. The shacks caught fire around 11pm, and the flames were soon extinguished, Solomons-Johannes said. No one was injured. “The causes of the fires are not known and they will be investigated by the relevant authorities,” he said. - Sapa
