Two men died after weekend fires destroyed their shacks.

Disaster management spokesperson Johan Minnie confirmed that more or less eight people were left homeless.

In Delft and Mfuleni only the two men’s shacks were caught in the fire.

Yesterday a fire also destroyed three homes in an informal settlement in Khayelitsha.

The Red Cross Society donated food and blankets to the homeless. They will also receive building materials. The cause of the fire is still unknown.
