A man was killed and 67 people left homeless in four separate fires in the Cape Town area this week, the city said on Friday.
A fire in Valhalla Park on Friday morning destroyed a house and displaced eight people, disaster risk management spokesman Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said.
On Thursday evening, a man was killed when his shack caught fire in Monwabisi Park, Khayelitsha.
Earlier that day, a fire destroyed 11 shacks in the Fisantekraal informal settlement in Durbanville. A total of 37 people were left homeless.
Four flats and four backyard huts were razed on Wednesday night in Zone 9, Langa. Twenty-two people were displaced.
Solomons-Johannes said the city was providing food parcels, clothing, blankets and building materials for the fire victims. The cause of the fires was unclear. - Sapa
