A second blaze within a month has torn through the Cape Town community of Masiphumelele where homes in Z-Section have been destroyed.
Emergency workers, volunteers from the humanitarian aid organisation, the Gift of the Givers, have arrived at the scenes in good time.
Gift of the Givers’ Ali Sablay said: “Just less than a month ago, Gift of the Givers responded to a fire in Masiphumelele where 309 structures burnt down, leaving close to 500 people displaced.”
Sablay said that volunteers would remain in the area over the next few days.
“We will be providing the families with hot meals and water during the course of the day. We will then distribute mattresses, blankets and any other humanitarian aid they require.”
