Denver informal settlement residents say the area is flooded

Residents of the Denver informal settlement say the area has been flooded again.

The area houses survivors of the Marshalltown fire that gutted the Usindiso building in August last year.

More than 70 people died in the blaze, allegedly sparked by an arsonist trying to get rid of evidence of a murder.

Residents say heavy rains caused the flooding due to a lack of stormwater drainage systems.

It’s not the first time the survivors have lost everything in floods after it flooded earlier this month.

The Marshalltown Fire Justice Campaign is blaming the City of Johannesburg for the situation.
