Durban - Masingene informal settlement residents in Margate, whose homes were destroyed in a recent fire, received 24 Temporary Residential Areas (TRAs), vouchers, blankets and building materials on Saturday from the Departments of Social Development, Human Settlements and Public Works.
Social Development MEC Nonhlanhla Khoza and Human Settlements and Public Works MEC Ntuthuko Sibiya provided the relief.
According to Human Settlements spokesperson Mbulelo Baloyi, a gas stove had exploded in the informal settlement last week causing a fire which destroyed about 40 shacks in the area, leaving about 44 families homeless.
