10 YEAR OLD DIES IN STRAND FIRE WHILE RESIDENTS NEAR PEARLY BEACH EVACUATED FOR SEPARATE BLAZE

A 10-year-old boy and a woman died in a fire at Pholile Park in Strand, near Cape Town on Saturday, fire and rescue spokesperson Theo Layne said.
Meanwhile, firefighters at Overberg are still fighting to contain a blaze there as well.
Western Cape traffic chief Kenny Africa said officials were busy evacuating residents near Pearly beach.
“It’s huge and it's devastating,” Africa said.
The Strand fire started in the early hours on Saturday.
Residents living in shacks around the area had been displaced.
Layne said fires which affected other parts of Cape Town have since been contained.
“The Cape Point fire has been contained. An earlier fire at Table Mountain has been almost extinguished,” he said.
Two fire engines, water tankers and 60 crew members were part of the team that tackled the blaze at Cape Point.

in my own view i believe the 10 year old boy and the women must be buried by the state and those who are affected by the fire must be provided a place to stay and food to eat.

    Government must bury all those who died in that fire and the government must try to finger out some strategy because this problem is always happening here in south Africa.
