A mob burned a woman alive after accusing her of casting black magic spells in a remote village in southern Nepal.

A fire that swept through Nyanga in Cape Town has left 45 people without homes, the city said on Wednesday.

The fire started around 11.30pm on Tuesday at the Hlazo informal settlement, disaster risk management centre spokesman Wilfred Solomons-Johannes said.

Thirteen shacks were destroyed. No casualties were reported.

He said the cause of the fire was unknown.

Food parcels, clothing, blankets and building material had been provided to fire victims. - Sapa
