A fire is still raging in Somerset West in Adventure Park.

City of Cape Town Fire Management says they hope the blaze will be extinguished by late afternoon.

Authorities say strong winds and hot weather conditions have been hampering efforts to put out the flames.

About seventy fire-fighters have been working in shifts to battle the blaze after it threatened two wine estates in the area.
Two helicopters have also been deployed to water bomb the area.
