Twitter has taken off with reactions to footage taken of a building ablaze today, April 13. Social media users have jumped on board, stating that the building in the video is a strip club in Bellville.

However, according to the TygerBurger, the building is in fact a factory located at the corner of Pioneer Street and Carl Cronje Drive, Tyger Valley (the Miele Manufacturing Company).

SABC also reported that that the building is a manufacturing factory, not a strip club.

The City of Cape Town’s fire and rescue services spokesperson Jermaine Carelse said the following:

“Crews from Goodwood, Bellville, Belhar and Roeland Street responded to an emergency call received by the City’s Fire and Rescue Service at about 13:00,”

“The fire, at the Miele Manufacturing Company, was contained by about 13:42 and a preliminary search of the building confirmed there was no one inside,” he adds.
