Not Bread Alone, a much-loved local bakery in Linden burnt to the ground last night after a devastating fire.
Situated along Malibongwe Drive, it was a thriving business that had been at this location for 17 years where the owners rented the premises.
Owner Corna Hiddert said, “We are absolutely shocked that this has happened. Last night at about 20:00 we received a call from a neighbouring business saying there was a fire in the bakery.”
The fire department and other roleplayers are on the scene currently as they begin to try to figure out what happened. Hiddert said as far as they could see the blaze did not start in the kitchen. “We think it [the fire] may have begun in the office. It looks like the coffee shop is ok. but obviously, there is structural damage to the building.”
The bakery has close to 5 000 followers on Facebook with many expressing shock and dismay at the news greeting them this morning.
This is a developing story.
