TUMELO MOFKENG
Emfuleni Local Municipality battling to stop underground fire after more than seven kids burned by hot soil. Several kids were hospitalized after being burned by burning soil due to coal burning underground at Sebokeng Zone 7 in the Vaal south of Joburg. The underground fire at a family stand that used to sell coal during the 90s, as now the coal is covered by grass, allegedly caught fire during winter as people allegedly burned the grass, avoiding being robbed while passing, but that ended in tears as many kids got burned. The yard is full of coal underground that nearby communities from the nearby informal settlements are digging to use in their households. The underground fire took Emfuleni local municipality firefighters three days to be extinguished before it injured many kids
