My DST dish, the house curtains and my tool box with tools worth more than R100 00 were burned as well, some of the tools which burned were a ground earth test (worth about R77 000) and a multi meter (worth about R10 000). We manage to put out the fire with a help of the neighbours,” said Mr Temane.
Mr Temane is self employed and he keeps his tools in his car.
He said the car value was about R120 000 and the case was reported to the police.
