Fortunately, despite the severity of the fire, no lives were lost. Rhuza De Prod, whose real name is Nyikiwe Rhulani, confirmed that all family members managed to escape without injury. While this has been a source of relief, the emotional and financial toll of the disaster remains overwhelming.
Following the incident, the family has been forced to relocate to a small structure at the back of their yard. With limited space and resources, adjusting to their new living conditions has been extremely challenging, especially given the size of the family. What was once a stable home environment has now become a daily struggle for survival.

Speaking about the fire, the artist shared the painful reality of what his family is currently going through. He explained that although they are grateful to have survived, the loss of their home has left them uncertain about the future.
