A desperate family plea after house burnt down

A family is in desperate need of food and supplies after their house burnt down last week.

On Tuesday, March 6 little pleas came from a child whose house just caught fire. Mr Phillip Nkosi said that the Mahlangu- house caught fire for an unknown reason and the child who was in the house, ran to Ms Samaria Mahlangu, owner of the house to tell her that the top part of their double story house is up in flames.

Emergency services rushed to the scene but could not stop the flames from destroying their home. The house in Gazania Crescent, Pine Ridge needs rebuilding and materials. Various businesses have assisted in this task.

“The family had a tuck shop which was a form of income, but as the electrical cables were destroyed, they can not continue their business and have no other form of income,” said Nkosi on Monday.
