More than 20 kilometres of bush and vegetation were destroyed in a fire in the Somerset West area.
Firefighters are close to extinguishing the blaze in the Hottentots Holland Mountains after nearly a week long battle. City of Cape Town Fire Chief Ian Shnetler says, “Fire threatened parts of the Lourens Farm property and Helderberg Nature Reserve, but we got it under control”.
