The house was nearyly gutted.

Meanwhile, 18 people were left homeless after a fire destroyed two houses and five backyard structures in Khayelitsha at the weekend.

One of the first fire and rescue personnel to arrive on the scene, I personally know. The sad fact and what people are failing to mention is the case of child neglect and abuse during this tragic event! what self centered excuse of a parent or grownup for that matter chooses to save there own life, not even making an attempt to save the life of a child… leaving her to burn to death. May the guilt digest you!!
God bless you sweet little girl your safe now <3 xx
