A 92 year old gran survived a fire that gutted down a house that she was sleeping in while the rest of her family had gone for an all night prayer.
Nikiwe Sibanda of Sipepa under Chief Mathuphula in Tsholotsho was pulled out by residents from a burning bedroom hut on Sunday at around 1AM.
Sibanda had passed out in her sleep due to suspected smoke inhalation.
The fire, whose origins are unknown, burnt down four huts and a three roomed house at the homestead. Property worth thousands of dollars was destroyed.
The family only remained with about two buckets of maize that were in the granary and the clothes they were wearing.
Well wishers could contact the family on 0785001500 and 0717264486.
