Pretoria shack fire victims given temporary shelter
Hundreds of families are being temporarily relocated after a fire ripped through the Plastic View informal settlement, east of Pretoria.
At least 300 shacks were burned to cinders in the blaze and at least five killed.

A father who lost his son in the blaze spoke to Jacaranda FM News, saying it all feels like a dream.
