“I will never forgive them. They must rot in jail.”
These are the words of a distraught Johannes Masongwane, the father of three of the five children who
perished following a shack fire at Itireleng informal settlement in Laudium, Pretoria, on Sunday. His
partner and her sister who allegedly left the children alone overnight were arrested following the
tragedy that claimed the lives of his children’s (aged two, six and eight). Speaking to Sowetan on
Monday, Masongwane recalled how he was woken up by a phone call from one of the neighbours,
telling him about the fire that destroyed four shacks. “I was with my children on Saturday and my
partner told me she was taking our kids to visit their aunt (partner’s sister). I didn’t know they would
be sleeping over there and only learnt about it late in the evening.”
“At about 3am, I got a call that my children have burnt. When I got to the scene, I found that my
children had burnt beyond recognition. Their mother and her sister were not there. They [sisters] have
ruined my life,” said a weeping Masongwane. “I couldn’t even spot or point at my kids or their
remains because everything was just ash.” Sowetan is withholding the names of the children as their
mother has not appeared in court. Masongwane’s mother, Johanna Masongwane, said she was
shattered.
“My son and I have not eaten. My son has accepted the unfortunate incident. He said to me, ‘mama,
it’s okay because the mother of my kids did not even care about my kids’,” she said. She said her
grandchildren stayed at her home until the June school holidays when their mother took them away. “I
