Local business owners in Meyerton had a scare today as a fire broke out
behind their shops. The incident occurred when a group of Nyaope boys
were allegedly having their next fix behind the shops. It is not clear
if the fire was accidental or if it was set on purpose. The accused fled
the scene as the Fire Brigade arrived to put out the flames.
Fortunately, there were no injuries or damages to the property or truck
parked at the back of the shops. However, the incident has raised
concerns about the safety of businesses in the area, as the Nyaope boys
are known to sleep in the veld behind the shops.
