A raging fire in KwaZulu-Natal has destroyed about 20 homes and powerlines.
Department of co-operative governance spokesperson, Vernon Mchunu says Saturday's blaze was threatening to cause more havoc and the heavy wind-storm in the region was making matters worse.
He says provincial and municipal disaster management teams have been dispatched to mitigate the risk as the people and property in parts of the North Coast were in danger.
Mchunu says the destroyed powerlines are part of a multi-million rand project by the department of co-operative governance and power supplier, Eskom.
Officials have urged municipalities and locals to be on standby as the fire could still spread to other areas.
