Another Shack Fire Rips Through Khayelitsha – BE Section Burns
Tonight VE section in Khayelitsha has burnt. At least seven homes have been destroyed.
We have made it clear that as a movement we refuse to accept that it is normal for the homes of the poor to burn like this. We are determined to demand that the plague of shack fires is treated as the crisis that it is and that real steps are taken to free us from this plague.
