A popular chesa nyama called Iphintombiin Midrand was one of the shops that was extensively damaged after a blast.
The two-storey Ipitombi butchery and tavern and a shop in the building collapsed after the explosion at about 2am on Monday.
Two homeless people who had taken shelter in the structure, a small, family-owned building, were injured.
The owner, Ozzi Bentcourt, said the business had been running for 17 years. He did not know why anyone would want to sabotage the building, which housed various businesses.
“Everyone knows us. This was a hangout place for taxi drivers and hawkers – we even had a clinic.”
