Several fires in Cape Town over the weekend have left nine people dead and thousands displaced.
The most heavily affected areas included Elsies River, Delft, Mfuleni, Vrygrond, Imizamo Yethu Informal Settlement as well as Cape Town Station.
On Saturday alone, eight people were killed after shack fires engulfed various parts of Cape Town.
Yesterday, Hout Bay residents were plagued with a fourth fire this year after Imizamo Yethu informal settlement was engulfed in flames.
Hout Bay Civic Association secretary Roscoe Jacobs said people who lost everything a month ago had now lost it all again.
The area saw one person die and almost 1 300 residents left homeless.
Jacobs said that because the area was so highly populated, there was a constant fire risk.
