Inanda fire: Police say mother could face charges
Police say they are still in the process of determining whether a mother of two Durban children who died in a fire, has any charges to answer to.
Siblings, Smangele and Mlungisi Jeza, who were left unattended - died on Monday night when their house caught alight in Inanda, north of Durban.
It is believed the fire was caused by a stove that the eight and four-year-old had switched on to keep warm.
