IN the early hours on Monday, Tembisa police were called to a house in Moteong section where nine-year-old twin boys died in a fire.
Paramedics certified both boys, Mpendulo and Mpilo Mogale, dead at the scene.
The boys’ aunt and family spokeswoman Nelly Mabizela (38) from Tembisa said the family is devastated.
She said the boys’ gogo and mkhulu, who are in their 70s, might need counselling as they’re traumatised by the kids’ screams. She said the boys were asleep in one room, and the grandparents were sleeping in a separate room when the fire started.
She said they were all hurt and the parents were beyond devastated. She asked SunReaders to help them rebuild their home.
