Fires bluster through Cape shack dwellings

ABOUT 300 people have been left homeless after their shacks caught fire in areas across the Western Cape, the City's disaster risk management centre says.

Spokesperson Wilfred Solomons-Johannes says fires at Seawinds, Athlone, Langa and Phillipi destroyed shacks and interrupted power supply yesterday morning.

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fires is not known, but authorities are investigating, he says.
