One person has died and another 97 left homeless by shack fires across Cape Town, the city’s Disaster Risk Management Centre said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne adult male was overwhelmed by a fire in his shack at Sheffield Road, Phillipi East,\u201d said the head of the Cape Town Disaster Operations Centre Wilfred Schrevian Evan Solomons-Johannes in a statement.<\/p>\n

Johannes said another shack was also destroyed in the same fire and two people left displaced.<\/p>\n

Solomons said there had been three other incidents of shack fires in the city since Friday.<\/p>\n

Just after 11pm on Friday, two people were left homeless after their shack in Khayelitsha was destroyed by fire.<\/p>\n

Sixty nine people were displaced when sixteen shacks were destroyed by fire at the Egoli informal settlement in Schaapkraal just before 3am.<\/p>\n

At 4.30 am, twenty 26 people were left homeless after eight shacks burnt down at the Freedom Farm informal settlement opposite the Cape Town International airport.<\/p>\n

The cause of all the fires is unknown.<\/p>\n

Police have opened an inquest into the death of the man from Phillipi East.<\/p>\n

The victims have been given food parcels, clothing, blankets and building material by city officials. – Sapa<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
