A child burnt to death in a shack fire at the Kosovo informal settlement in Philippi on Sunday.

Disaster Risk Management Centre Spokesperson Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said the fire broke in one of the shacks at evening.

Solomons-Johannes said two more shacks were destroyed at Section C, Fisantekraal informal settlement in Durbanville.

As a result of the fire three adults and one minor were left homeless.

He added that the centre assisted the displaced residents and the causes of the fires on both incidents are unknown.
