CAPE TOWN - Residents in Town Two in Khayelitsha are on Tuesday picking up the pieces and rebuilding their shelters after a fire ripped through the informal settlement on Sunday evening.
Nomsa Zandi, a resident of over 20 years, said if service delivery promises were fulfilled, the fire would never have happened. On Monday, angry residents tried to rebuild on land which has been earmarked for government housing but were stopped by law enforcement officers.
