Two people died in a fire at Marianhill outside Durban on Wednesday morning after a shack in an informal settlement caught alight.
eThekwini fire and emergency services divisional commander Dennis Govender told TimesLIVE a man and a woman were declared dead at the scene in the Uganda informal settlement.
“We are investigating the cause of the fire. The shack is totally gutted.
“It appears there was a delay in a call for assistance, possible because of inaccessibility to phones.”
