A fire in the Imizamo
Yethu informal settlement in Hout Bay, Cape Town burnt a man "beyond
recognition" and destroyed about 200 homes earlier on today.
The City of Cape Town’s Fire
and Rescue spokesperson Theo Layne said the police had been called to the scene
to identify the body because it was "burnt beyond recognition".
“The cause of the fire is at
this stage undetermined with the SA Police Service coming in to investigate
further.”
“Some residents have been left
homeless and those affected will be housed in a nearby community hall at
this time. Clean-up operations have also begun.”
It is the second time this
month alone that a fire has ravaged the area.
