The fire was so strong to a point that members of the community had to break the doors so that they can be able to save some of the things but unfortunately, their belongings were destroyed.
Tebogo Mthembu says she received a call from one of the community members that their house was on fire upon arrival, at zone one, she realised that the Tv set was not there and was suspicious that the person who stole it wanted to make it seem as if the items in the house were merely consumed by the blaze and not actually stolen.
“On that day I was out with my mother and child when I received a call from one of the community members that our house is on fire,” she said.
