People in Cape Town will have to endure the strong, gusting south-easterly winds for a few more days.

City of Cape Town spokesperson, Wilfred Solomons-Johannes, says the city's disaster risk management centre and fire and rescue services are advising the public to take safety measures against wind damage and to be alert about fire safety.

The public is being urged not to attempt to make fires during this time, especially not in areas where the risk is very high. The strong winds are favourable for runaway fires.

For any emergency the public can report 107 from a Telkom line, for cellphone users can contact 021 480 7700.
