At least five people died in a series of shack fires and a rafting tragedy at the weekend.
In the first major cold front this year, temperatures this long weekend plummeted to the low teens with relentless heavy rains and gale-force winds…
Meanwhile, four informal settlement residents were killed in three separate blazes yesterday.
Disaster Risk Management spokesperson Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said the blazes had probably been caused by fires that residents had lit indoors to keep themselves warm.
A man, believed to be about 30, was killed when blazes gutted two shacks in Khayelitsha.
In Bloekombos, a man and woman, between ages 35 and 40, were killed when two shacks burnt down. Another man died in a blaze in the Nonizamo informal settlement. - Cape Times
