Family of five, including three children, killed in Olievenhoutbosch shack fire A devastating shack fire ripped through a home in Olievenhoutbosch Extension 25, early on Friday morning, killing a family of five — including three young children and a senior citizen — as flames engulfed their dwelling before firefighters could save them. This includes three children aged 9 to 16 and a senior citizen. The City of Tshwane Emergency Services Department spokesperson Lindsay Zwelithini Mnguni said the incident happened on Friday morning. 'The incident was reported to our Emergency Communication Centre at about 05:04, and firefighting resources were immediately dispatched from Heuweloord Fire Station and Centurion Fire Station to the scene. 'These included two fire engines and a water tanker.' He said on arrival, the firefighters found out that the fire had already destroyed the four-roomed shack dwelling. 'Sadly, five family members, including a senior citizen, one adult and three minors, were fatally burned by the devastating fire. The firefighters continued to extinguish the fire as it was still smouldering completely.' Mnguni said various roleplayers, including their Fire Safety Section, Disaster Risk Management Section, the Gauteng Emergency Medical Services, South African Police Services, Gauteng Forensic Pathology Services, Gauteng Crime Prevention Wardens and community leaders, were also on scene and worked together as they assisted with incident management. 'Tshwane Emergency Services Department urges communities to remain vigilant and be cautious during winter to prevent and eliminate incidents of this nature that can have a disastrous effect on families and the community.' To report any fire or rescue incident, members of the public are encouraged to call 107 toll-free or to call 012 358 6300/6400.

Businesses warned to adhere to by-laws or face might of the law
Businesses warned to adhere to by-laws or face might of the law TMPD is calling on local business members to obey the law. This comes after businesses in Eersterust, Mamelodi, and Doornpoort were inspected on Monday and Tuesday, revealing many by-law violations. TMPD spokesperson, Superintendent Isaac Mahamba, said the department, in collaboration with other stakeholders in the metro, conducted extensive operations on the two days. He said, 'The main objective of these operations is to ensure compliance with the city by-laws. 'It was discovered that most of the businesses were operating contrary to their licenses, selling counterfeit, expired, and tampered food packaging products.' This resulted in these businesses being issued with Section 56 notices, and the products being confiscated. 'Meanwhile, in Doornpoort, two well-known establishments were closed due to non-compliance,' he said, referring to businesses in the Doornpark shopping complex. Mahamba added that the metro's building control department has discovered that certain residential properties are being extended without the metro's permission. 'Notices have been issued to the owners of these houses, giving them a 14-day period to respond to the violations,' he said. He emphasised the importance of the owners becoming compliant within this prescribed time frame, to avoid further consequences. He said, 'Failure to comply within the stated time frame will result in the municipality commencing the demolition process.' 'It is crucial for the owners to prompt action to avoid any further consequences.' He closed by saying that TMPD Chief of Police, Commissioner YCR Faro, commended the members for their hard work and dedication to upholding the law.
