A two-year-old boy is missing after a fire swept through an informal settlement in Valhalla Park, Cape Town, the city said on Tuesday.
The area was being searched to establish if the child died in the fire on Monday, disaster risk management centre spokesman Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said.
Forty-four people were displaced in the blaze and an emergency shelter had been set up for them. It was not clear what caused the fire. – Sapa
