Flames quickly spread through the Mahhashini Reconstruction & Development Programme (RDP) home, causing a trail of damage. The contents of Ms Khulu’s kitchen, lounge and bedrooms were destroyed.

The fire was allegedly sparked from the main electricity box in her home. A three-month-old family member had to be hospitalised for smoke inhalation and was discharged on Sunday.

The incident has since been reported to the municipality. Her neighbour, Duncan Magubane, explained that they have been experiencing issues on and off for a week, causing lots of damage.

He has since helped with kitchen cupboards and urges anyone who can assist to come to the family’s rescue. The Khulu family needs mattresses, blankets, clothes, school uniforms and food.

To assist, you can contact Mr Magubane on 072-190-5659 or Ms Khulu on 079-632-9335.
