Fire-fighters in Cape Town are still attending to sporadic flare-ups of the fire against Table Mountain.
The wind has picked up today, keeping fire-fighters on their toes.
A homeless person died of his injuries and his wife is still in a serious condition in hospital.
Five fire-fighters sustained minor injuries in yesterday’s blaze and veterinarians are treating several injured wild animals.
Meanwhile two people were seriously injured when they jumped out of a burning building in the Johannesburg city centre.
The building is located on the corner of Jeppe and Polly streets. Emergency services said the patients have been taken to hospital along with eight other victims who suffered from smoke inhalation.
The fire broke out in the building early this morning.
