Despite the heartache, there is a silver lining: no one was injured. The Sadiki family emerged physically unscathed, but their emotional wounds run deep. Innocent took to social media, sharing their pain:
“From what we called our home, we now have nothing! Our house burnt down today. Lord, you are still our God. We are shattered. We thank God none of us are injured. Pray for us, please”.
Later, Innocent thanked her followers and friends for pitching in to help with donations like clothes for her children. Yesterday, people close to her shared her banking details so that wellwishers could donate.

As news of the tragedy went viral, people questioned why Innocent had time to record and share the incident on social media. Some then requested pictures of the R3 million house before it burnt.
In the snaps, Innocent’s house looked abandoned, with long grass choking the yard and no windows. Some also alleged that the incident was probably an insurance scam.
