EThekwini Municipality Deputy Mayor Zandile Myeni provided the items during her visit to assess the damage on Saturday. Myeni also visited the families of the deceased, a 25-year-old woman and a toddler (19 months old), where she expressed her heartfelt condolences and encouraged the community to assist where they can, embodying the spirit of Ubuntu.

She also appealed to the public to donate food, clothing, bedding, building materials and other essential items that could help those affected.

Myeni also urged community members to remain vigilant and avoid leaving open fires and candles unattended.
