Cape Town - Two siblings died in a shack fire in Thembalethu, the Western Cape's George Municipality said on Saturday.
Steven Erasmus, a director of planning and housing in George, said it was unclear how the Friday night fire started.
“People reported that two children died from the fire, a four-year-old and an 11-year-old,” he said.
“There is speculation that the children were on their own. When the police complete their investigation it could potentially be a crime scene.”
Erasmus said once his department had located the remaining family members, they would offer them shelter. - Sapa
