Community helps fire victim
We have requested a quotation for paint and roof material.
The South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco) has committed to assist in renovating an elderly man’s house after a fire.
This house went up in flames and a large part of it was destroyed earlier the year.
The neighbours tried to extinguish the fire and rescued the man who stays alone.
He did not sustain any injuries, but was admitted to the Standerton Hospital for smoke inhalation.
According to Mr Nicholas Selepe, zonal convener, the man has since been discharged from hospital and is currently residing with a relative.
“We have requested a quotation for paint and the roof material,” Mr Selepe said.
They have also requested the local taxi association to help them in renovating the house.
“I urge all local businesses to help us with the renovation process,” he also said.
