About 250 people have been left without a roof over their heads after a fire gutted shacks at the Kathrada Park informal settlement in Claremont.
The blaze started in the early hours of Monday morning.
Johannesburg Emergency Management spokesperson Robert Mulaudzi believes an unattended candle started the fire.
"We are looking about over 50 shacks that have been affected," says Mulaudzi.
No fatalities and injuries have been reported so far, says Mulaudzi.
