Khayelitsha fire
Sisulu wants Taiwan informal settlement to be declared disaster area
The latest assessment shows about 350 structures were destroyed leaving more than 1,000 residents homeless.
One hundred and fifty-two homes in the Taiwan informal settlement went up in flames on New Year's Day, leaving about 400 residents homeless.
The appeal comes after a Khayelitsha COVID-19 overflow facility was torched during a protest this week.
A Dial-A-Ride vehicle was stoned, injuring passengers; a refuse removal truck was set alight; firefighters responding to a fire in Khayelitsha were stoned; and on Wednesday morning, a Golden Arrow bus was petrol bombed in Mfuleni.
At least 34 pupils from Nomsa Mapongwana Primary School in Khayelitsha have been affected by the blaze in Town Two.
Earlier on Sunday, the party gave an update on the outcomes of its final sitting for the year.
