CAPE TOWN - Scores of people have been left homeless after a blaze gutted their homes in Phumlani informal settlement in Cape Town.
Strong winds fuelled the rapid spread of the fire, making it difficult to extinguish the flames.
It's not known what caused the blaze that broke out overnight.
Humanitarian organisation Gift of the Givers says it has already responded to four fires in just four days.
Its teams are providing aid to affected communities.
