Two toddlers left unattended die in house fire

The South African Police Service (SAPS) in Mpumalanga has appealed to parents and guardians to avoid leaving children unattended.

This comes after two 2-year-olds died in a house fire on Monday at Amersfoort. According to Police spokesperson Donald Mdhluli the children’s guardians left the children alone to buy food. Community members were able to save one of the children whilst the two girls could not be saved and were later certified dead at the scene by medical personnel.

Mdhluli said the boy was rushed to hospital where he's currently receiving medical attention.

Last month, the SAPS in Western Cape arrested the parents of twin nine-month-old babies who died in a fire that destroyed their home in Delft South.
