One person has died and dozens of residents have been displaced during a spate of early morning fires in the Western Cape.
A fire claimed the life of one person and left six homeless after the blaze gutted their shack in Strand.
In another incident, five shacks were gutted and left six people displaced in Langa.
Disaster Management spokesperson Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said, “Disaster Management is on scene this morning assessing the affected parties with the necessary disaster relief aids. The causes of the fires in the two instances are unknown and we will investigate the occurrence of the fire.”
