A man was taken to hospital after sustaining “severe burns” as two fires swept through Khayelitsha outside Cape Town early on Monday, displacing 79 people and destroying some 31 dwellings.
Wilfred Solomons, Cape Town city’s disaster manager, said both fires occurred in the early hours of Monday morning.
The first fire, in Town Two close to Lansdowne road, destroyed 29 shacks. Seventy five people were being supplied with building material, clothing, food parcels and blankets.
The second fire, in which the hospitalised man was injured, destroyed two shacks and left four people homeless. - Sapa
