Text 1 Complex fire claims six lives Johannesburg – Six people died on Sunday night after a fire broke out in a townhouse complex In Florida, Johannesburg. It is suspected that the fire was caused by the incorrect installation of a generator. The fire broke out shortly after Stage 6 loadshedding commenced at 22:00. Because of the amount of wood used in the construction of the complex, the fire quickly spread from one unit to the next until the entire complex was engulfed in flames. According to an eyewitness, neighbours came to the rescue of those trapped in the complex, helping them to escape the flames. “I saw the two of them running from house to house. They actually pulled an elderly couple from a burning unit.” The fire department arrived late on the scene, by then the blaze had already spread extensively throughout the complex. Chief Fire Officer, Jonas Mbape, explained that stage 6 loadshedding is affecting the Fire Station’s communication system, resulting in them not being able to receive calls during longer stints of loadshedding, “We do not have any backup power at the station. After two hours of loadshedding we are basically cut-off from the world. It is affecting our ability to serve the public and leading to unnecessary loss of life.” The families of the deceased have requested for their privacy to be respected during this difficult time. No funeral arrangements have been made yet. The company responsible for the installation of the generator that led to the tragedy, Zebra Energy, is currently under investigation.

Die brand is vermoedelik deur die foutiewe installasie van ʼn kragopwekker veroorsaak is. Die brand het uitgebreek kort nadat Fase 6 beurtkrag om 22:00 begin het. Weens die hoeveelheid hout wat in die konstruksie van die kompleks gebruik is, het die brand vinnig van een eenheid na die volgende versprei totdat die hele kompleks in vlamme gehul was. Volgens ʼn ooggetuie het bure tot die redding van die wat in die kompleks vasgekeer was, gekom, en hulle gehelp om die vlamme te ontsnap. “Ek het hulle twee van huis tot huis sien hardloop. Hulle het ʼn bejaarde egpaar se lewens gered deur hulle uit ʼn brandende eenheid te help.” Die brandweer het laat by die toneel opgedaag. Op daardie stadium het die brand die hele kompleks reeds verswelg. Die hoof-brandweerbeampte, Jonas Mbape, het verduidelik dat fase 6-beurtkrag die brandweerstasie se kommuniekasiestelsel affekteer, wat daartoe lei dat hulle nie oproepe kan ontvang tydens lager tye van beurtkrag nie. “Ons het geen rugsteunkrag by die stasie nie. Na twee ure se beurtkrag is ons basies van die wêreld afgesny. Dit beïnvloed ons vermoë om die puliek te dien en lei tot onnodig lewensverlies.” Die families van die oorledenes het versoek dat hul privaatheid gedurende hierdie moeilike tyd gerespekteer word. Geen begrafnisreëlings is nog getref nie. Zebra Energy, die maatskappy verantwoordelik vir die installering van die kragopwekker wat tot die tragedie gelei het, word tans ondersoek.

Mike Kamfer, polisiewoordvoerder, het bevestig dat dit ʼn gevaarlike operasie was, “die stroom was ontsettend sterk, daarom moes ons ʼn paar dae wag voor ons veilig te werk kon gaan.” Huldeblyke vanuit die plaaslike en internasionale roeigemeenskap het op sosial media ingestroom. Die roudiens sal eers oor vier weke plaasvind, na afloop van die huidige roeiseisoen.

Sy het toestemming gekry om te speel met die volle ondersteuning van die Internasionale Sokkerfederasie (FIFA), die Suid-Afrikaanse Sokkerfederasie (SAFA), en die organiseerders van die Afrika nasiebeker-toernooi.
