Farleigh fire
In less than 24 hours, the fire that started in Karatara on Monday 29 October and eventually necessitated the evacuation of residents from as far as Hoekwil near Rheenendal as a precautionary measure, claimed more lives than the June 2017 blaze. Two women and six children – all under the age of 12 – succumbed to the flames that ravaged among others parts of Farleigh, Karatara, Bosdorp and Keurhoek near Rheenendal.
