The furniture in the living room was destroyed.

The fire was apparently caused by a gas cylinder.

Ms Mohlahlana lost all her furniture, electrical appliances and a few of her and her 10-year old grandson’s clothes.

Despite losing her belongings, she is grateful that no one died or was injured in the blaze.
