Four people have died after two structures caught fire in separate incidents in Cape Town on Wednesday.

Cape Town Fire and Rescue services found two men and a woman burnt to death after they received an alert of a fire at an informal settlement in Phase 2, PW Mama Way in Langa.

According to Fire and Rescue Services spokesperson Jermaine Carelse, bystanders told them there were people missing.
