Shack fires in South Africa : ウィキペディア英語版 | Shack fires in South Africa Fire is a serious hazard in shack settlements in South Africa.〔(A Big Devil in the Jondolos: A report on shack fires ), by Matt Birkinshaw, ''Abahlali baseMjondolo'', 2008〕 It has been argued that "On average in South Africa over the last five years there are ten shack fires a day with someone dying in a shack fire every other day."〔(The Politics of Fire ), Matt Birkinshaw, ''Pambazuka'', 2008〕 In 2011, 151 were reported to have been killed in shack fires in Cape Town.〔(Are some Cape Town fires hotter than others? ), Rebecca Davis, ''Daily Maverick'', 2015〕 It was reported that in 2014 2 090 people burned to death in the Gauteng province, "many of them in shack fires that sweep through informal settlements".〔(This is how South Africa dies ), Richard Poplak, ''The Daily Maverick'', 2015〕 ==Causes of Shack Fires==
Shack fires are often termed accidents but this has been contested by shack dweller's organisations.〔(Shack Fires are No Accident ), School of Development Studies, University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2005〕 Martin J. Murray argues that by "recruiting human frailty or sheer accident to their cause, key city-builders have been able to rationalize municipal policy-choices that have accomplished little toward changing the circumstances under which the urban poor—who bear the awful brunt of these continuing cycles of death and destruction — tend to invariably find themselves in harm’s way."〔(Fire and Ice: Unnatural Disasters and the Disposable Urban Poor in Post-Apartheid Johannesburg ), by Martin J. Murray, ''International Journal of Urban and Regional Research'', Volume 33, Issue 1, pp. 165–192, March 2009〕 Matt Birkinshaw lists the key reasons for shack fires as lack of land, lack of housing, denial of access to electricity, adequate water and to adequate emergency services.〔(The Politics of Fire ), Matt Birkinshaw, ''Pambazuka'', 2008〕
