A FIRE has raged through a squatter camp on the outskirts of Cape Town, destroying up to 1200 shacks and leaving thousands of people homeless, South African rescue service officials said. One person suffered slight burn wounds and two others were treated for smoke inhalation after the fire swept through the crammed Joe Slove informal settlement in the Langa township. There were no fatalities, but it took four hours to control the blaze. – AFP
