Areas around Pretoria weren't spared from the flames that wiped out scores of houses, while North West farmers are asking for aid after massive fires laid waste to parts of the Magaliesburg. In Limpopo, locals say they have never seen fires this fierce. In some places, gusting winds created runaway fires that spread at 30 kilometres an hour for up to eleven days. Last week, a couple stuck inside their blazing house frantically called family to say their last goodbyes... before escaping to safety, living to tell the tale. Carte Blanche headed to Limpopo for an aerial view of the devastating aftermath.
