Hartseer neighbour Mauricia Sondagh said the incident happened after 7pm when her son went to call the girls for supper as they used to eat by her and that was when he noticed the fire.

Mauricia says: “My son immediately ran back and said ‘mummy kom help, dit brand daarso’. When I got next door, the flames were coming from inside the wendy house and was coming out by the door.
