Two Cape Town fires have left 10 shacks destroyed and 25 people displaced, the City's Disaster Risk Management Centre said on Sunday.
Spokesman Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said a fire at 10pm on Saturday in Ntanga Street, Nozamo near Strand destroyed eight shacks and left 20 homeless.
At 9.30am on Sunday two shacks behind Mission Area near the Strandfontein police station were gutted by fire. Five people were displaced, he said.
No one sustained any injuries and all the people living in the two areas were accounted for.
Solomons-Johannes said the City's disaster response teams would assist the victims during the course of the day with food parcels, blankets, clothing and building material.
The cause of the fires was still unknown. Authorities would investigate, he said. - Sapa
