#MasiphumeleleFire Affected residents are being screened & registered at the community hall in Masiphumelele & on site where the fire took place. City officials need to determine how many people are in each household, so that food & other relief can be distributed fairly. @eNCApic.twitter.com/i63fJwlPYa Monique Mortlock (@MoniqueMortlock) December 18, 2020
