Western Cape Local Government MEC Richard Dyanti says he plans to propose wide-raging legislation, to curb fires in informal settlements. This follows yesterday's launch of the provincial government’s fire prevention campaign.
The unveiling of the initiative coincides with rising temperatures and strong winds. Yesterday the mercury climbed to 32 degrees in Cape Town and today's forecast maximum is 31 degrees celsius.
The campaign aims to educate people who live in shacks about personal safety, including basic tips to remember when lighting fires. Dyanti says he plans to outlaw shack-building in fire-prone areas. - 702 Talk Radio
