Lack of proper firefighting equipment blamed for extensive damage to Mahikeng complex

It is believed the fire broke in one of the shops and extended to other shops.

The fire station in Mahikeng under the district municipality of Ngaka Modiri Molema had to fight the raging fire on shops along the Station Road with dysfunctional resources. “Our members, the workers arrived here on time. The problem is that the equipment that they are using has got problems. It does not have power to pump water and they struggled also with the fire hydrants because the nearby fire hydrants do not have water. They have been damaged by members of the community,” says Qelesile.Some of the customers were concerned about lay-bye agreements they have signed with some of the clothing outlets as they prepare for the festive season.
