Breaking local news in Boksburg
Thirty-three families from the Ramaphosa informal settlement were left devastated after a fire broke out on April 27 near Elsburg Road, destroying eight homes and belongings.
“The fire started out of nowhere, and when we asked our neighbour, he said, ‘Something told him to start the fire’. He came out of his shack naked and ran toward us,” Dlomo recounted, visibly shaken by the ordeal. “Boksburg Central Fire Station arrived at the scene at 21:07 when eight shacks were already razed to the ground. 'We finished the scene at 22:40 with backup from Germiston Central. There were 15 firefighters on site and no casualties were recorded.”“We have reached out to the community, churches and NPOs for donations. So far, we have received food, shelter and clothing for the affected families.
Amid this crisis, the Thusang Community Development NPO has stepped up, donating clothes and school uniforms to the affected families.
