She went on to explain that she left her brother in the kitchen before loadshedding and went to her room to sleep as she is currently pregnant, so when she is asleep, she can hardly hear anything because she is "tired most of the time." She also added that her kitchen was too far from her room, and her door was closed.
"My brother put chips around 10:45 am, and then the electricity went off while he was still busy. He told me not to worry because he was gonna finish off making the chips at our gas stove, which is at the cottage. So I think when he took out the chips, he then forgot the stove on as he quickly went to the gas stove," she shared.
@tanya_posts said she was thirty, which caused her to wake up and fetch a glass of water.
I was shocked as I approached the sitting room the passage was filled with smoke; it was black, and I panicked. I was choking on the smoke. I quickly rushed to the kitchen, where I saw a flame on the stove. I poured water on it and just opened all the windows in the house. Electricity came back at one, and I saw this fire at 13:40. My brother came back around past 2, and he was also shocked. He just cleaned the walls and painted the entire kitchen. We have not managed to fix our stove yet."
The young lady urges everyone to immediately switch everything off at the main switch to avoid any mistakes. She recommends that people invest in buying a fire alarm.
"If possible, let’s avoid making food just before loadshedding especially if you know chances of finishing cooking are slim because you will definitely forget to switch off, especially if you change to a gas stove. Let’s constantly check our apps or our local Facebook pages for the loadshedding schedule, "she added.
The video of the woman's clip attracted many people online as it gathered over 119K views, thousands of likes, and many comments on the day of its publication.
