A fire sparked at Hove Manor, London Road, Sea Point at approximately 10:00 am, reports Cape {town} Etc’s Ashleigh Nefdt live from the scene.

Teary eyes filled the scene as I repeatedly heard a young girl reiterate that she didn’t know what happened.
The City of Cape Town’s fire and rescue service t was quick on the scene, navigating 3 vehicles to the rescue.
The firefighters were calm, cautious and collected as they raced to put out the fire.
It is alleged that the fire stemmed from an electrical fault.
