It has been quite a week so far. Firefighters pulling 28-hour shifts is becoming the norm as fires continue to rage over Hout Bay, Muizenberg, Ou Kaapse Weg and Noordhoek.
A tragedy like this has its fair share of heart-warming and heart-wrenching moments. These are the most powerful we’ve seen so far.
