A fire at a Paarl printing company, which left 7 people dead, was said to spread so fast that almost the entire factory was destroyed.
At this stage, nobody can reveal how the fire started but an investigation will be launched soon.
The Drakenstein fire department said 13 workers are being hospitalised, many of them with second degree burns.
A spokesperson for Paarl Medi-Clinic said seven of the fire victims had been admitted to the Medi-Clinic.
Two were in a normal ward and five in the intensive care unit.
They were being treated for flash burns and inhalation wounds.
The burns ranged from minimal, to injuries covering 75% of their bodies
