No water or electricity after Bloemfontein north fire | News Article

Bloemfontein - Water and electricity supply in and around the prestigious Oubos Estate north of Bloemfontein have been disrupted following a massive fire yesterday.

The Mangaung Fire Department said about 40 firefighters, in conjunction with Working on Fire, attended to the fire.

OFM News has reliably learnt that the fire was caused while maintenance work was being done on the electricity network. A spark allegedly set alight the veld and moderate winds lead to the fire spreading.

An affected resident, Hardie Viviers, explains.
