A man has narrowly escaped death after his house was set ablaze in a clear assassination attempt.
The man has been identified as Victor Moabelo and he is indeed is lucky to be alive.
The 33-year-old man, survived death even though his shack was burned down on Saturday morning while he was asleep.
According to Daily Sun SA, the man from extension 20 in Mamelodi East, Tshwane, South Africa, thanked his neighbours who shouted and woke him up.
He said the community helped to put out the fire.
Victor told Daily Sun: “I lost my ID and bank cards.”
He claimed his neighbours saw two men whom he has termed as "enemies" passing his house who allegedly threw a bottle filled with petrol in his shack.
The neighbours said they couldn’t identify the two because they ran away quickly.
“I’m lucky to be alive because I’ve heard of many people dying from fires,” said Victor. “The fire has really turned my life upside down and I will have to start all over again.”
Victor said police refused to open a case and told him to bring a suspect first before they would consider it.
Police spokesman Captain Kay Makhubele said Victor should ask to see the commander at his local police station and explain his problem so that a case could be opened.
