A shack fire has claimed the lives of three Soweto

their parents in a rented shack when it caught fire
in the early hours of today, January 18, 2017 . The
deceased parents were said to have escaped half
naked.
Ezekiel Kapo, one of the witnesses attached to the
victims' shack said he was awakened by his
neighbors screams.
'It was around 2am when I heard a woman
screaming and kicking my door. I jumped
up and saw my neighbour half-naked. She
screamed that her shack was on fire.
Seconds later‚ I saw her husband who
was also naked running out of their
shack.' According to Kapo, he said he
attempted entering the shack to fetch the
three children who were sleeping and was
prevented by the fire which was ravaging
the shack.
