A family’s shack burned down in Phase 1, leaving them without a place to call home.

After taking a nap, Oniah Mashego claims that her shack was destroyed in a fire this afternoon. She thinks a fire brazier ignited the fire.

“I was feeling hot when I woke up from my nap and went to the bathroom, only to return to find fire blazing,” she said, “Thank God I was unharmed, but I lost everything in the fire. Fortunately, my children are not here; they have gone to visit.”
