Cape Town – Lotus River teenager Claudine Abels has recounted how she managed to save her father and two sisters from a devastating fire which claimed a family of four yesterday. When the 17-year-old was awoken by thick smoke engulfing her house, which she shared with her father Raymond and two younger sisters, instinct kicked in and she dragged the minors out before going back for her dad.
“While I was taking my father outside, I could see my grandfather crawling, trying to escape the fire. I was too late to rescue him,” she said. Attached to Abels’ house is a shack, in which 80-year-old Vellem October, his son Brandon May, 46, his wife Sonia, 45, and their 6-year-old son Jaden Jantjies lived.

Raw sewage flows into Sundays RiverRaw sewage from a municipal sewage works has been flowing into the Sundays River near Graaff-Reinet, Eastern Cape. Viva ANC, Viva. They don't seem to be bothered by drinking shitty water. I think they call it 'load shedding'. Quite honestly, it's what happens when incompetents are in charge. A blooming disgrace and I feel badly for all affected.
