Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A woman and three children have died in a shack fire in Germiston, according to Ekurhuleni emergency services.<\/p>\n

The children – siblings who were aged 9, 7 and 2 – as well as a 43-year-old woman were burned beyond recognition at the Marathon informal settlement on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Emergency Services spokesperson William Ntladi said several families had been displaced after their shacks were destroyed in the blaze.<\/p>\n

“Last night’s incident was tragic. On search and rescue, we found the three bodies of the three siblings and they died at the same time. The mother had minor injuries. We are aware that the 43-year-old woman was from the other shack as the fire spread violently across,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The actual cause of the fire is alleged to have been a paraffin stove which was left unattended,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
