Cape Town petrol bomb attack leaves 30 homeless


Thirty people were displaced when their homes burnt down, following a petrol bomb attack in Bonteheuwel in Cape Town on Saturday.

Spokesperson for the city's disaster management centre, Wilfred Solomons-Johannes says a petrol bomb was thrown at a house, and the blaze spread to three other dwellings - resulting in severe damage.

He says disaster management teams provided clothing, food parcels and blankets to the residents.

Solomons-Johannes says the city has called on the police to open a case of malicious damage to the properties.

He says police suspect that the attack was a "turf war over drugs".
