26 May 2015
The South African Communist Party (SACP) in the Brian Bunting (Cape Metro) District, Western Cape has learnt with shock that four children have tragically passed away during a fire which engulfed a section in Site B, Khayelitsha and destroyed four houses in early hours of 26 May 2015.
As the SACP in the district, we wish to convey a message of solidarity and to send our deepest condolences to the families affected by this tragedy. These seasonal disasters are synonymous with the Western Cape, with an increase in such incidences from over 4000 recorded incidences in December 2013 to over 8000 in December 2014 with 19 people having lost their lives.
Against such atrocious and preventable seasonal occurrences, both the City of Cape Town and Provincial Government continue to reduce the housing budget with fewer houses being built. In response, the DA City and Provincial Administration pay lip service to preventative measures through ineffective public relations exercise.
