Properties on the luxury estate Knorhoek and the centuries-old wine estate, Vergelegen, are under serious threat as fires flared up again in the Somerset West area. Cape Town Fire Services say the fire is being fanned by strong winds.
Nearly 150 firefighters, 18 vehicles, a spotter plane and a helicopter are currently on the scene. Meanwhile, a shack fire broke out earlier in Gugulethu on the Cape Flats.
It's now been extinguished. No injuries were reported, but 10 people were displaced and five shacks were destroyed in the blaze. Two grass fires are also being monitored in Site B in Khayelitsha and next to the M-5 highway near Rondebosch East.
