At least eight people were killed in a storm that swept into the Cape Town area, which has been suffering from a severe drought. Victims included four people who died in a fire caused by lightning and one who was killed when a home collapsed. Cape Town workers said they had taken measures to protect some poor residents, who live in sprawling neighbourhoods of makeshift homes. However, hundreds of homes were flooded or damaged, authorities said.
