Former human settlements minister Lindiwe Sisulu, whose house in rural Ngcobo in the Dr AB Xuma local municipality in the Eastern Cape was damaged by a fire on Wednesday night, has described the incident as heartbreaking.
The fire was reportedly noticed by neighbours who notified Sisulu’s relatives who live in Ngcobo.
Johannesburg-based Sisulu said on Thursday she had been alerted about the fire shortly after 10pm.
“I regularly went there and I always felt safe when I was there, to the point where I did not even lock the doors,” she said.
“I love my home. Now everything is gone.”
