LIMPOPO – The two children were alone in a three bedroomed house at Lwamondo-Khumbe village when the incident occurred, said Police spokesperson, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe.
“It is alleged that a local resident who noticed a heavy smoke coming out from the said house and saw a huge flame of fire coming out through the curtains, summoned the police and fire brigade.
