North R/veldt family counting losses after mysterious fire at new home
A North Ruimveldt family is counting their losses after their new home, under construction, was gutted in a late night fire on Wednesday.
According to Leonard Bobb, who is the caretaker for his family’s property and who lives in a small building at the back of the home, he was not at home at the time of the fire which started around 22:00hrs.
The house, situated at Lot 3755 North Ruimveldt, was badly damaged, with the entire ceiling and roof destroyed.
According to the 26-year-old Bobb, his family was staying at another home awaiting the completion of the property.
He insisted that he had left nothing cooking or that the fire could have been electrical, since there was only one light on.
The Bobb family was hoping to move in shortly and GPL was expected to connect full power to the home which was only recently wired.
Neighbours said that they were forced to form a bucket brigade after the water supply went around 22:00hrs, a normal thing for the city.
The owner of the home, Latisha Bobb, 56, was too shocked to speak and looked on helplessly at what remained of her new home.
