'Mysterious Fires' Trouble Thamaga Residents

So far, they say the fires have destroyed eight houses in the ward since September. Residents claim that the unexplained fires, described as diphera, break-out in between 3am and 4am. First they thought that the first house was bewitched but they have now realised that the fires hit randomly. 

Modimoosi Kesatshogile (57) said that her house was burnt last Friday morning and she would have perished with her family if neighbours did not rescue her. She said she was asleep with her family when they were suddenly woken up by screams from neighbours.
