The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs has offered assistance to families affected by a shack fire in Clermont that claimed three lives earlier this week.
The victims included teen mom Samkelisiwe Ngxolo, 17, and her two children Oluhle, 3, and six-month-old Sanokuhle, from the Beachway informal settlement in Durban."Tuesday is a day I will never forget. It is when I lost three members of my family," said Xoliswa Ngxolo, Samkelisiwe's aunt."I was walking my son to school and got a call informing me that my shack was on fire and that my niece and her children were all dead.
"Some of them have lost essential documents such as IDs. Additionally, we are in contact with [the Department of] Human Settlements and they will be providing materials which can be used by the affected families to put up temporary structures. We have also distributed interim relief aid which includes blankets, non-perishable food and clothing items," said Hlomuka.
