Mphene, who is unemployed, told Sedibeng Ster that he doesn’t even know where to start to rebuild the house since he doesn’t work.
“The problem started after I had an argument with the boy’s mother. Everyone thought it was electrical fault, but I knew it wasn’t. I told the neighbours this has nothing to do with an electrical fault because I know someone was involved in this. I am left with nothing, everything in the house is burnt including furniture and my clothes. I don’t know what I’m going to do,” said Mphene.
